. Behcet's disease is a multisystem disease. In sub-Saharan Africa, the prevalence of this disease is not known, with only one case report from Ethiopia. . We describe a case of a 29-year-old Ethiopian male who presented to the emergency room of Tikur Anbessa specialized hospital with 4 days history of back pain, recurrent history of oral and genital ulcers, right eye blindness, chronic cerebral vein thrombosis, gastrointestinal bleeding, aortic aneurysm with dissection, and positive pathergy test. He is retrospectively diagnosed with Behcet's disease according to both the International Criteria for Behcet's Disease (ICBD) and the International Study Group (ISG) consensus. . Even if Behcet's disease is rare in sub-Saharan Africa, it is important to know the clinical presentation for timely diagnosis and urgent management.
白塞病是一种多系统疾病。在撒哈拉以南非洲地区，该疾病的患病率尚不清楚，仅有一篇来自埃塞俄比亚的病例报告。我们描述了一例29岁的埃塞俄比亚男性患者，他因背痛4天、有复发性口腔和生殖器溃疡病史、右眼失明、慢性脑静脉血栓形成、胃肠道出血、主动脉瘤伴夹层以及针刺反应阳性，就诊于提库尔·安贝萨专科医院急诊室。根据国际白塞病诊断标准（ICBD）和国际研究小组（ISG）共识，他被回顾性诊断为白塞病。即使白塞病在撒哈拉以南非洲地区较为罕见，但了解其临床表现对于及时诊断和紧急处理仍很重要。
