Introduction.
Intracranial aneurysms associated with Behçet's disease (BD) are a rare occurrence.
They are fragile, thin-walled pseudoaneurysms, which have high tendency to rupture and present a therapeutic challenge.
Case Presentation.
We report a 26-year-old male with BD presented with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to ruptured middle cerebral artery aneurysm.
Additionally, two unruptured aneurysms were identified.
He underwent endovascular embolization using Onyx with successful obliteration of the ruptured aneurysm.
Medical therapy resulted in regression of one and resolution of the other aneurysms.
Conclusion.
We describe the first report of the application of Onyx for obliteration of ruptured cerebral aneurysm in BD as a feasible and safe therapeutic option for patients who are not candidates for other techniques.
