Vascular involvement is common in Behçet's Disease (BD). The venous system is often affected, while arterial system involvement is a rare occurrence. Intracranial aneurysm formation associated with BD is extremely rare. A 38- year-old male patient with BD under the follow-up of the Dermatology department presented with acute headache. The cranial computed tomography revealed subarachnoid bleeding. A basilar artery aneurysm, which was ruptured during the procedure, was found on the cerebral angiography and the patient died the next day. This report adds our case to the literature of posterior cerebral circulation aneurysms associated with BD among the limited number of articles on this topic.
血管受累在白塞病(BD)中很常见。静脉系统常受影响,而动脉系统受累则较为罕见。与BD相关的颅内动脉瘤形成极为罕见。一名在皮肤科随访的38岁BD男性患者出现急性头痛。头颅计算机断层扫描显示蛛网膜下腔出血。脑血管造影发现一个基底动脉动脉瘤,在手术过程中破裂,患者于次日死亡。本报告在关于该主题的有限数量文章中,将我们的病例补充到与BD相关的大脑后循环动脉瘤的文献中。
