Area of Science:

  • Vascular Medicine
  • Rheumatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Behcet's disease is a chronic, multisystem inflammatory disorder characterized by vasculitis.
  • It predominantly affects young adults and is more prevalent in Mediterranean and East Asian populations.
  • While common, involvement of the great arteries in Behcet's disease is infrequent.

Observation:

  • This report details an atypical case of Behcet's disease presenting with subclavian artery occlusion.
  • The patient's presentation mimicked Takayasu arteritis, a condition also involving large arteries.
  • The case occurred in Lebanon, a region with a notable prevalence of Behcet's disease.

Findings:

  • The study identifies subclavian artery occlusion as a rare, yet possible, manifestation of Behcet's disease.
  • The occlusion presented as a pseudo-Takayasu arteritis, underscoring diagnostic challenges.
  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted to contextualize this unusual finding.

Implications:

  • This case expands the spectrum of vascular manifestations associated with Behcet's disease.
  • It emphasizes the importance of considering Behcet's disease in the differential diagnosis of large artery vasculitis, even with atypical presentations.
  • Early recognition and appropriate management are crucial for preventing severe complications in patients with Behcet's disease-related vasculitis.
