Abstract

Behcet’s disease is a multisystem disorder of unknown cause that is characterized by vasculitis. Pulmonary vascular problems such as pulmonary artery aneurysms due to Behcet’s disease are reported to indicate poor prognosis and high mortality. We describe a 19-year-old man who presented with hemoptysis. He had a history of recurrent oral and genital aphthous ulcerations for 15 months. The diagnosis of Behcet’s disease was made on the basis of the criteria published by the International Study Group for Behcet’s Disease. His chest X-ray showed bilateral hilar enlargement. A multislice computed tomography (CT) scan showed bilateral multiple pulmonary aneurysm with intramural thrombosis Multislice CT could be used successfully in Behcet’s disease for the diagnosis of pulmonary involvement.

Özet

Behçet hastalığında pulmoner arter anevrizmaları: Çok kesitli bilgisayarlı tomografi ile bir olgu sunumu Behçet Hastalığı vaskülit ile karakterize, nedeni bilinmeyen multisistemik bir hastalıktır. Behçet hastalığına bağlı pulmoner arter anevrizması gibi pulmoner vasküler problemler, kötü prognozu ve yüksek mortaliteyi göstermek amacı ile bildirilmiştir. Hemoptizi şikayeti ile başvuran 19 yaşındaki erkek hastayı sunduk. Hastanın 15 aydır tekrarlayan oral ve genital aft hikayesi vardı. Uluslararası Behçet Hastalığı Çalışma Grubu kriterlerine göre Behçet hastalığı tanısı konuldu. Akciğer grafisinde bilateral hiler genişleme izlendi. Çok kesitli Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (BT) incelemesinde intramural tombüs içeren çok sayıda iki taraflı pulmoner anevrizma görüldü. Çok kesitli BT, Behçet hastalığındaki pulmoner tutulumu göstermede başarıyla kullanılabilir.
