Coronary aneurysm in Behcet's disease: One case report

Archives des Maladies du Coeur et des Vaisseaux, Volume 91, No. 12, Year 1998

Cardiac involvement is rare in Behcet's disease. The authors report the case of a young patient with Behcet's disease and multiple cardiac complications. The remarkable feature of this case was the presence of a coronary artery (first diagonal) aneurysm associated with multiple venous thomboses. Anticoagulant therapy was changed for a platelet aggregant. Surgery was not indicated because of the fragility of the vessels.
