Behçet's disease is characterized by recurrent ulcers of the mouth and genitalia and relapsing iritis. It is now recognized as a chronic multisystem disease affecting the skin, mucous membranes, eye, joints, central nervous system, and blood vessels. One of the known vascular complications of Behçet's disease is aneurysm formation or venous thrombosis. The two patients with Behçet's disease in this report developed multiple aneurysms over a short time span. Vascular surgeons dealing with young adults with peripheral aneurysms must be aware of this uncommon yet challenging clinical entity.
白塞病的特征是口腔和生殖器反复出现溃疡以及复发性虹膜炎。它现在被认为是一种影响皮肤、黏膜、眼睛、关节、中枢神经系统和血管的慢性多系统疾病。白塞病已知的血管并发症之一是动脉瘤形成或静脉血栓形成。本报告中的两名白塞病患者在短时间内出现了多个动脉瘤。处理患有周围动脉瘤的年轻成年人的血管外科医生必须了解这种罕见但具有挑战性的临床病症。
