Behçet's disease (BD), described in 1937 by Hulusi Behçet, is a multisystemic inflammatory disorder. In this paper, we report a large pseudoaneurysm of the internal iliac artery in a patient who had BD, and was admitted to emergency service complaining of leg pain and the percutaneous treatment of the pathology which followed.
