Abstract
Most clinical manifestations of Behcet's disease are believed to be due to vasculitis. Large vessel vascular involvement occurs in approximately one-third of patients with Behcet's disease. In these patients, perivascular and endovascular inflammation may lead to hemorrhage, stenosis, aneurysm formation, thrombus formation in both arteries and veins, and varices. The rupture of an arterial aneurysm might result in sudden death. We report a case of Behcet's disease characterized by involvement of femoral artery pseudoaneurysm. © 2011 Düzce Medical Journal.
