Aortocaval Fistula in a Behcet's Disease Patient

الملخص EN

Behcet's disease (BD) is a chronic, recurrent, systemic disease that is characterized by oral and genital ulcers and oculocutaneous inflammatory lesions.

Cardiovascular involvement especially large artery involvement is a serious and vital complication of BD.

Pseudoaneurysms in the major arteries may be the cause of sudden death in BD.

In our case a pulsatile abdominal mass was determined to be an aortic pseudoaneurysm associated with BD and an aortocaval fistula.

Here we report this case and a short review of literature because this is the first reported aortocaval fistula in a BD patient in English literature.
