Abstract EN
Behçet's disease (BD) is a vasculitic disorder of relapsing acute inflammation characterized by recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers, uveitis, and skin lesions.
The disease also affects other organs, including joints, the nervous system, blood vessels, and gastrointestinal (GI) system may also be involved and the lower GI tract is the mostly involved part, leading to severe morbidity.
The frequency of GI involvement in BD varies among different ethnic groups.
Although 50–60% of Japanese patients have GI disease, these manifestations are rare in patients from Mediterranean countries.
The gastrointestinal manifestations of BD usually appear 4.5–6 years after the onset of the oral ulcers.
The intestinal lesions are usually resistant to medical treatment and recur after surgery.
The elementary lesion is apthous ulcer.
Deep, round or oval ulcers with a punched-out appearance tend to perforate easily, so that many patients require urgent operation.
