Femoral Artery Pseudoaneurysm Secondary To Behcet's Disease: A Case Report

Abstract

Most clinical manifestations of Behcet's disease are believed to be due to vasculitis. Large vesselvascular involvement occurs in approximately one-third of patients with Behcet's disease. Inthese patients, perivascular and endovascular inflammation may lead to hemorrhage, stenosis,aneurysm formation, thrombus formation in both arteries and veins, and varices. The rupture ofan arterial aneurysm might result in sudden death. We report a case of Behcet's diseasecharacterized by involvement of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm

Behçet Hastalığına İkincil Gelişen Femoral Arterde Pseudoaneurizma

Abstract

Behçet Hastalığının çoğu klinik belirtileri vaskülitlere bağlı olduğuna inanılır. Büyük damartutulumları Behçetli hastaların yaklaşık üçte birinde izlenmektedir. Bu hastalarda, perivaskülerve endovasküler inflamasyon hem arter hem de venlerde kanama, darlık, anevrizma formasyonuve trombüs formasyonuna yol açabilir. Arterial anevrizmaların rüptürü ani ölüme yol açabilir.Biz bu olguda Behçet Hastalığına bağlı femoral arter tutulumu sonucu Pseudoaneurizmaformasyonu gelişen bir hastayı sunduk
