Abstract

Operative treatment of aneurysm in patients with Behçet's disease frequently results in recurrent aneurysm at the anastomosis site or in the remaining artery. Herein, in a Behçet's patient with aortic and iliac pseudoaneurysms, a ruptured iliac artery stump aneurysm after ligation of the right external iliac artery 1 year prior to this admission is reported. This case suggests that the ligation or interposition of aneurysms associated with Behçet's disease should be done at the intact artery, remote to the diseased segment. In addition, a small pseudoaneurysm of the aorta could be monitored with close follow-up with immunosuppressive medication and surveillance at regular intervals if the aneurysm is not symptomatic and is not rapidly growing to a certain critical size.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
