Abstract

Although most of myocardial infarctions result from atherosclerotic plaque rupture and superimposed coronary thrombosis, it is known that numerous pathological processes other than atherosclerosis may cause acute myocardial infarction. We report a case of 38-year old man with Behcet’s disease presented with acute anteroseptal myocardial infarction. He has been suffering from Behcet’s disease for ten years, and there was no extracardiac manifestation at the time of myocardial infarction. Any atherosclerotic lesion (narrowing or obstruction) was not detected in coronary angiography performed six days later from the time of myocardial inforction This case shoues that acute myocardial infarction may occur due to nonatherosclerotic causes in patients with Behçet’s disease, and there is no relationship between severcity of cardiac lesions and that of extracardiac manifestations of the disease.

Özet

Miyokard infarktüslerinin çoğu aterosklerotik plak rüptürü ve üzerine eklenmiş trombüs sonucu olmasına rağmen, ateroskleroz dışında çok sayıdaki patolojik durumlar da akut miyokard infarktüsüne sebep olabilir. Biz akut anteroseptal miyokard infarktüsü ile gelen Behçet hastalığı olan 38 yaşındaki erkek bir olguyu sunmak istedik. Hasta 10 yıldır Behçet hastalığı tanısı ile takip ediliyordu ve miyokard infarktüsü esnasında ekstrakardiyak bulgusu yoktu. Miyokardiyal infartüsün 6. gününde yapılan koroner anjiografisinde hiçbir aterosklerotik lezyona (daralma veya tıkanma) rastlanmadı. Bu olgu, Behçet hastalığı olan olgularda akut miyokard infarktüsünün noniaterosklerotik sebeplerle oluşabileceğini ve kardiyak lezyonların şiddeti ile hastalığın ekstrakardiyak bulguları arasında ilişki olmadığını göstermektedir.
