“…[21][22][23] Hughes-Stovin syndrome, characterized by thrombophlebitis and multiple pulmonary aneurysms, carries a risk of fatal pulmonary hemorrhage. [24] With advances in imaging methods, the rate of detection of thrombus in patients with an aneurysm has increased. [21] In the present study, eight patients exhibited thrombi concomitant with aneurysms, while two patients displayed pulmonary artery aneurysms without thrombotic involvement.…”

Objectives Behcet’s disease (BD) is characterized by systemic vasculitis with inflammation that can affect various body organs. In BD, vasculitis primarily manifests with venous involvement, distinguishing it from other forms of systemic vasculitis. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the demographic and clinical characteristics of 147 patients diagnosed with vascular BD in our center. Results Vascular BD cases accounted for 25.0% (147 out of 589) of all BD patients. A statistically significant correlation was found between gender and vascular involvement that was seen predominantly in males (76.9%). In 71 patients, a vascular event developed during follow-up for BD, while in 76 patients the disease was diagnosed after the occurrence of a vascular event (51.7%). The most common vascular event was deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities (69.4%). Arterial involvement was primarily observed in the pulmonary arteries (12.9%). Patients with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis tended to be younger, while those with pulmonary artery involvement were typically older. Overall, veins were affected 4.5 times more frequently than arteries. Conclusion The prevalent type of venous involvement was deep vein thrombosis in the lower extremities. Thrombotic events in BD cannot be solely attributed to abnormalities in thrombotic factors. The treatment of thrombotic events in BD remains contentious, with anticoagulant efficacy being debated and immunosuppressive therapy representing the primary treatment approach. Behcet’s disease should be considered when a young male patient presents with an arterial or venous vascular event, especially if it is recurrent.

Hughes-Stovin Syndrome is a systematic disorder generally revealed by deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary artery (PA) aneurysms. Its pathogenesis is still unclear and there are no previously established diagnostic criteria or treatment guidelines. It is usually associated with Behçet disease. The aim of this study was to further enlighten this entity as it is often misdiagnosed. We report a case series of five patients with this rare pathology with a systematic literature review of all the previously reported cases.

Behçet’s Disease: A Radiological Review of Vascular and Parenchymal Pulmonary Involvement

Behcet’s disease (BD) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disorder characterized by underlying chronic vasculitis of both large- and small-caliber vessels. Thoracic involvement in BD can occur with various types of manifestations, which can be detected with contrast-enhanced MSCT scanning. In addition, MR can be useful in diagnosis. Characteristic features are aneurysms of the pulmonary arteries that can cause severe hemoptysis and SVC thrombosis that manifests as SVC syndrome. Other manifestations are aortic and bronchial artery aneurysms, alveolar hemorrhage, pulmonary infarction, and rarely pleural effusion. Achieving the right diagnosis of these manifestations is important for setting the correct therapy and improving the patient’s outcome.

Recurrent Haemoptysis Revealing Hughes-Stovin Syndrome

Abstract: Hughes-Stovin syndrome is a very rare condition with no defined diagnostic criteria. We present the case of a 26-year-old man who had haemoptysis revealing Hughes-Stovin syndrome. We will consider the aetiology, therapeutic and evolutionary aspects of this disease.
