Abstract

Behçet's disease is a vasculitis of unknown etiology. Vascular involvement is rare, but may be inaugural in many cases. We report a case of Behçet's disease revealed by a symptomatic pseudo-aneurysm of the external iliac artery. The symptomatology was non-specific. Ultrasound Doppler and computed tomographic angiography were essential for diagnosis. The pseudo-aneurysm was managed by endovascular treatment. Corticosteroid and immunosuppressant therapy were administrated after surgery.
