Behcet's disease with aneurysm of internal iliac artery and percutaneous treatment

Abstract: Behçet's disease (BD), described in 1937 by Hulusi Behçet, is a multisystemic inflammatory disorder. In this paper, we report a large pseudoaneurysm of the internal iliac artery in a patient who had BD, and was admitted to emergency service complaining of leg pain and the percutaneous treatment of the pathology which followed.

“…Dilation of the aortic root is an early sign of BD invasion of the aorta, followed by progressive aneurysm formation (19). Based on the inflammation and fibrosis of the vessel wall, the expansion and dilatation can lead to the formation of true aneurysm or, if tearing occurs, pseudoaneurysm (20). Aneurysms are the leading cause of death owing to the risk of rupture (21).…”

“…Although one patient died of aneurysm rupture, 3) the other patients underwent surgery, and the symptoms disappeared thereafter. 4) CT findings of internal iliac aneurysm presenting with neuropathy include an aneurysm large enough to get in contact with the pelvis, 4) and a saccular pseudoaneurysm secondary to Behcet s disease, kidney transplantation, and trauma [5][6][7][8][9] rather than a true aneurysm. In our case, the patient chiefly complained of ankle pain and difficulty in dorsiflexion in the left leg.…”
