2/162. Brachial plexopathy caused by subclavian artery aneurysm in Behcet's disease.As the cause of brachial plexopathy, an aneurysm of the subclavian artery is rare and mostly related to trauma. early diagnosis and treatment is very important because the arterial aneurysm itself is life-threatening and nerve injury can be reversible in cases of early treatment. We report a patient with Behcet's disease having a right brachial plexopathy caused by a nontraumatic aneurysm of the right subclavian artery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/162. A case of vasculo-Behcet's syndrome.A case of Behcet's syndrome with vascular complications is presented. This case had a familial occurrence of Behcet's syndrome. His vascular complications were deep vein thrombophlebitis of both legs, aneurysms of the left common iliac artery and the left femoral artery and the occlusion of the left subclavian artery. He was successfully operated on for the aneurysms. This paper discusses the problems accompanying the aneurysm of Behcet's syndrome. The authors pointed out that the subclavian steal syndrome may be diagnosed as neuro-Behet's syndrome and stressed the importance of vascular survay in Behcet's syndrome when the patient complaints of thrombophlebitis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.6keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/162. Behcet's syndrome with left ventricular aneurysm and ruptured renal artery pseudoaneurysm.A 21-year-old man with Behcet's syndrome presented with both a left ventricular aneurysm and a left renal artery pseudoaneurysm. After successful embolization of the ruptured pseudoaneurysm, the patient underwent successful repair of the left ventricular aneurysm. Although multiple aneurysms have been reported previously, we believe this to be the first reported case of both a ventricular aneurysm and a renal artery pseudoaneurysm afflicting a patient with Behcet's syndrome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3.7109583008855keywords = aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/162. Neutrophil and endothelial cell activation in the vasa vasorum in vasculo-Behcet disease.AIM: The aim of this study was to analyse the immunopathological mechanisms of vasculo-Behcet disease, which were also compared to cases of Takayasu's arteritis and inflammatory aneurysm to evaluate differences in inflammatory mechanisms. METHOD AND RESULTS: We reviewed six cases of vasculo-Behcet disease, four of Takayasu's arteritis and seven inflammatory aneurysms which underwent surgical repair. Immunohistochemical studies were performed on paraffin-embedded tissue using a labelled streptavidin-biotin method, as was in-situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus. Microscopically, neutrophils and lymphocytes accumulated around the vasa vasorum. neutrophils were prominent as compared to Takayasu's arteritis and inflammatory aneurysm. Elastic fibres were not severely destroyed. endothelial cells (ECs) of most vasa vasorum expressed HLA-DR. The number of vasa vasorum around which inflammatory infiltrating cells were observed in vasculo-Behcet disease was significantly greater than in inflammatory aneurysms and Takayasu's arteritis (P < 0.001). The cytokines IL-1alpha, TNF-beta and IFN-gamma were expressed in neutrophils and lymphocytes which were distributed around vasa vasorum, as well as neutrophils adherent to HLA-DR positive ECs. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that vasculo-Behcet disease should be classified as a neutrophilic vasculitis targeting the vasa vasorum. aneurysm formation may be related to degeneration of arterial wall caused by inflammation of the vasa vasorum.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/162. The advantages of MRI and MRA for diagnosing Behcet's disease and internal jugular vein thrombosis.Behcet's disease is a multisystem disorder characterized by recurrent aphtous ulcers of mucosal membranes, skin lesions, and vasculitis. The prevalence of vascular involvement is about 25% and this is the leading cause of death in Behcet's disease. Jugular vein involvement is an unusual manifestation of Behcet's disease. Medical insertion of needles into veins or arteries can induce thrombosis or aneurysms. Thus, diagnostic studies or therapy can aggravate the disease and even be fatal. We report a patient with Behcet's disease and rare internal jugular vein thrombosis. We also demonstrate the ability of noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography to aid in the diagnosis and evaluation of vascular involvement in Behcet's disease, without risking iatrogenic complications.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/162. Pseudoaneurysm formation in surgically treated Behcet's syndrome--a case report.Behcet's syndrome is a multisystem disorder with unknown etiology. Clinically it is mostly seen as a systemic vasculitis; almost 30% of the patients have vascular involvements, and most of these are venous thrombosis and arterial aneurysms. Obstructions of the femoral and tibial arteries have also been reported in the literature. The authors present here a patient with Behcet's syndrome who had pseudoaneurysms on both femoral arteries after aortobifemoral bypass surgery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.3015654715551keywords = aneurysm, pseudoaneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |

9/162. Subpleural lung involvement in Behcet's disease: first localization of a systemic entity.Behcet's disease (BD) is a chronic multisystem vasculitis, affecting many organs and the vascular system, of unknown aetiology. Eyes, skin, joints, the oral cavity, the central nervous system, and, less frequently, heart, lung, kidney, the genital system and the gastrointestinal tract can be involved. Intrathoracic manifestations of BD consist mainly of thromboembolism of the superior vena cava and/or other mediastinal veins; aneurysms of the aorta and pulmonary arteries; pulmonary infarct and haemorrhage; pleural effusion; and, rarely, myocardial and/or hilar lymphoid involvement. In the present case, the patient presented with BD with an asymptomatic subpleural lung mass and bilateral pulmonary artery enlargement. The patient was treated with a combination of surgical and medical therapy with complete resolution of the lung involvement and without any parenchymal relapses after an 8-month follow-up.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/162. Mediastinal mass and brachial plexopathy caused by subclavian arterial aneurysm in Behcet's disease.Vascular involvement in Behcet's disease is divided into venous and arterial thrombosis and arterial aneurysmal formation. Subclavian arterial aneurysm rarely occurs in Behcet's disease; however, when it does occur, it causes serious aneurysmal rupture and local complications such as nerve compression and arterial ischemia. We describe the case of a 39-year-old male who presented with neurologic symptoms and signs of brachial plexopathy and mediastinal mass caused by Behcet's subclavian arterial aneurysm. This case shows that the occurrence of brachial plexopathy should be considered a manifestation of Behcet's disease, and that Behcet's aneurysm should be considered in the differential diagnosis of upper mediastinal mass.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.8keywords = aneurysm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
