Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic disorder of unknown process resulting from systemic vasculitis. The pulmonary involvements in BD are uncommon. Furthermore, in the female, involvement of the pulmonary artery is quite rare. There were a few cases of female patients with BD with pulmonary artery aneurysm confirmed by pulmonary artery angiogram. In this article, we report a case of BD, combined with pulmonary artery aneurysm, confirmed by pulmonary angiogram and treated by surgery in a Korean female patient.
白塞病(BD)是一种由系统性血管炎引起的病因不明的全身性疾病。白塞病累及肺部的情况并不常见。此外,在女性患者中,肺动脉受累极为罕见。有少数白塞病女性患者经肺动脉血管造影证实患有肺动脉瘤。在本文中,我们报告了一例经肺动脉造影证实并接受手术治疗的韩国女性白塞病合并肺动脉瘤病例。
