Abstract:
Behçet's disease is a multisystemic disease of unknown origin characterized by a recurrent bipolar aphtosis (oral and genital) associated with vascular, digestive or articular symptoms. Gynecologists can be faced to this disease at any time of the life of their patients, including during the pregnancy. Given that the first demonstrations of the disease can be genital, they are in the front line to evoke this diagnosis. They thus have to know the main characteristics of the disease to make the diagnosis and to organize a multidisciplinary management. During pregnancy, the treatment of the disease is to be adapted to avoid teratogenic drugs, and adapt the doses of the treatment.
