Abstract

Behcet's disease (BD) is a multi-system vasculitis in which recurrent oral and genital ulcers, uveitis as well as musculoskeletal, neurologic and gastrointestinal system involvement are observed. In previous studies, vascular involvement rate ranges between 1-38%. Most common vascular complication is superficial vein thrombosis of the extremities, followed by deep vein thrombosis. In this study, we will present a case of BD with upper extremity thrombosis.

Özet

Behçet hastalığı (BH) tekrarlayan oral, genital ülserler, göz bulgularının yanısıra kas-iskelet, nörolojik ve gastrointestinal sistem (GİS) tutulumları ile seyreden sistemik bir vaskülittir. BH'da vasküler tutulum oranı serilere göre %1-38 arasında değişmektedir. En sık görülen vasküler komplikasyon ekstremitelerin yüzeyel ven trombozu iken bunu derin ven trombozu (DVT) izler. Bu yazıda, üst ekstremite trombozu olan bir Behçet hastalığı olgusundan bahsedilecektir.
