Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Rheumatology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Behçet's disease is a rare systemic vasculitis.
  • Arterial aneurysms are a known, though uncommon, manifestation of Behçet's disease.
  • Distinguishing these aneurysms from infectious etiologies is critical.

Observation:

  • Presents six cases of arterial aneurysms in patients with Behçet's disease.
  • Aneurysms were located in various arteries.
  • Surgical resection and graft replacement were performed.

Findings:

  • Satisfactory surgical outcomes were achieved.
  • No microorganisms were detected in cultures or pathological specimens, ruling out mycotic aneurysms.
  • Macroscopic appearance mimicked mycotic aneurysms.

Implications:

  • Accurate diagnosis of aneurysm etiology in Behçet's disease is essential.
  • Close patient monitoring and meticulous postoperative anticoagulant therapy are vital.
  • Effective management strategies improve both immediate and long-term results for arterial aneurysms in Behçet's disease.
