Behcet disease is a proteiform vasculitis, and it can have multiple presentations. One of these presentations is digestive involvement commonly known as entero-Behcet. It is a challenging presentation of Behcet disease, because of its similarity with other inflammatory digestive diseases, especially Crohn disease, which makes its diagnosis difficult and uncertain in many cases. It is also challenging to treat, and its treatment can go from corticosteroids and immunosuppressive therapy to biologics. The absence of a standardized protocol to treat patients can be confusing for practitioners treating entero-Behcet. This incites doctors treating entero-Behcet to have multidisciplinary meetings to discuss patients’ cases. This review will give an insight into pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of entero-Behcet to help practitioners taking care of this challenging aspect of entero-Behcet.
