Objective: The purpose of this study was to review the experience of aneurysms in the upper limbs treated with surgery and assess the outcomes. Materials and Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed the medical records of five patients with upper extremity aneurysms treated with surgical resection at Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital between March 2000 and February 2012. These patients were treated with excision surgery either with or without reconstructive surgery. Results: Two of the five patients were males and three were females with a mean age of 52 years (age range: 25-72 years). We treated 2 brachial, 2 ulnar, and 1 radial aneurysms. All aneurysms were excised, and two patients had reconstructive surgery. Three patients had false aneurysms, which included an ulnar artery aneurysm diagnosed as angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia. During follow-up period, all grafts were clinically patent, and no cases had recurrent lesions. No patients had ischemic symptoms or any other postoperative complications. Conclusion: Arterial aneurysms of the upper extremities are uncommon, and were most commonly caused by non-traumatic etiology in this series. These aneurysms were excised with or without reconstructive surgery, because of the fear of rupture and embolization. Revascularization can be performed selectively.

Behcet's Disease

Behçet's disease (BD), a very morphologically diverse systemic disease, may involve the vascular system. The venous system is the most frequently attacked vessel system.The arterial system, when involved, increases the severity and morbidity of Behçet's disease. Cardiac involvement, although rare, can be very subtle and in itself increases the mortality. Vasculitis is the hallmark pathology resulting in occlusion, aneurysms, or both.Vascular involvement may be very challenging in all phases of treatment beginning from diagnosis till recovery and remission.

“…The prevalence of RAA is 2.9%, which is the rarest in upper limb aneurysms. 1 RAA may present as pulsatile swelling with or without pain, distal ischemia, spontaneous rupture, and thrombosis. BD is also a systemic vasculitis which is mostly seen in Mediterranean, Middle East, and Japan and commonly in young males.…”

“…BD is also a systemic vasculitis which is mostly seen in Mediterranean, Middle East, and Japan and commonly in young males. 1 Panvasculitis (vasculitis of the vasa vasorum with the infiltration of the perivascular lymphocytes) and fibrosis are determined by histopathological examination. 1 Major manifestations of vascular BD are venous occlusion, arterial occlusion, and rapidly expanding aneurysms formation.…”
