Behcet's disease (BD) is a rare condition in sub-Saharan Africa. It often manifests as recurrent oral and genital aphthous ulcers with ocular features and infrequently involving major systems like pulmonary vasculature and parenchyma. Pulmonary involvement in BD, although rare, can manifest as pulmonary artery aneurysm, vascular thrombosis, pulmonary infarction, pneumonia and pleurisy.Our index case is a 38 year old Nigerian who presented with recurrent orogenital ulcer, hemoptysis and uveitis. He had a contrast enhanced chest CT scan that revealed pulmonary artery aneurysm. His symptoms resolved following commencement of immunosuppressant and steroid.Increased awareness is required for early detection of BD especially in regions where it is regarded as rare. Furthermore, multidisciplinary approach in its management is vital to reduce morbidity and mortality.

“…agnosis of behcet's disease was 30 months. Compared to the largest series of Dakar done in Dermatology (18 months), this delay is long[6]. The delay in diagnosis in our study is probably related to the benign nature of the dermatologicalmanifestations evolving by relapses and remissions and constituting the first symptoms of the disease.…”

Introduction: The Behcet's disease is deemed to be scarce in Black Africa where data are still scattered. The purpose of our study is to describe the epidemiological, clinical, paraclinic and evolutive particularities of the patients whose presenting symptoms of the Behcet's diseases were a venous thrombosis. Patients and Methods: It was a descriptive, multicenter, and cross-sectional study lasting 15 months. We brought together all the cases of the Behcet's disease revealed by venous thrombosis. The diagnosis was based on clinical criteria of the international group of study of the Behcet's disease in 2007. Results: We have grouped 10 revealing thrombosis cases of the Behcet's diseases during our study period. The average age was 34. The average wait period between the appearances of the early symptoms and the diagnosis of the very disease was 30 months. The admission motives were the abdominal pain (2 cases), a thrombophlebitis of the lower limb (2 cases), headaches (1 case), coma (1 case), a thrombophlebitis of the upper limb (3 cases). The thrombotic symptoms were exclusively venous-located. The seats of the thrombosis were the vena cava superior in 30% of the cases, the vena cava inferior in 20% of the cases, the veins of the lower limb in 20% of the cases, the cerebral vein in 20% of the cases, and the auxiliary vein in 10% of the cases. The treatment of the deep venous thrombosis consisted in all the cases of an effective anticoagulation associated with the colchicine. Primarily, the corticotherapy with a high dose was used in all the patients. One of them in the comatose stage, manifesting both cerebral thrombophlebitis and aseptic meningitis, had died. Conclusion: Behçet's disease is a disease of the young adult, but it must be evoked even in old age, with a view to appropriate man

“…Frequency of presence of oral aphthosis is almost same in patients from all regions with the rate of 96-100% [1,12]. In Japan, 4.6-15% of endogen causes of uveitis are BD [13,51]. In a study from Japan, 69% of the patients had ocular indings [52].…”

Behçet's disease (BD), a chronic vasculitis afecting any type of the blood vessels, was irst described by a Turkish dermatologist Hulusi Behçet. Although it has a worldwide distribution, it is commonly seen in the Silk Road countries around the Mediterranean Sea. The country in which the disease is most commonly seen is Turkey with a prevalence of 20-602/100,000. The disease most appears between the second and fourth decades of the life. BD afects both genders equally. However, the gender distribution may difer among diferent regions.
