Behçet's disease is a multisystemic, potentially life-threatening condition with vascular involvement and thrombotic tendency. The disease course is characterized by exacerbations and remissions. Lower extremity vein thrombosis is the most frequent manifestation of vascular involvement, followed by vena cava thrombosis, pulmonary artery aneurysms, peripheral artery aneurysms, dural sinus thrombosis and abdominal aorta aneurysms. The case in this report was considered worth reporting due to vena cava thrombosis extending from brachiocephalic to jugular vein, accompanying thrombosis of the contralateral brachiocephalic vein and jugular veins as well as simultaneous dural sinus thrombosis, and also benefit from thrombolytic therapy.
贝赫切特病是一种多系统、潜在危及生命的疾病,涉及血管并伴有血栓倾向。该病病程以加重和缓解为特征。下肢静脉血栓是血管受累最常见的表现,其次是腔静脉血栓、肺动脉瘤、外周动脉瘤、硬脑膜窦血栓和腹主动脉瘤。本报告中的病例因腔静脉血栓从头臂静脉延伸至颈静脉,伴有对侧头臂静脉和颈静脉血栓形成以及同时发生的硬脑膜窦血栓形成而被认为值得报告,并且也受益于溶栓治疗。
