Behcet’s disease is a multi systemic inflammatory disease of unknown cause, presenting with vasculitis. Arteriel involvement is less common and it is frequently in the form of an aneurysm. Pseudo aneurysm may develop secondary to obliterative endarteritis of the vasa vasorum. Even minor trauma can create a pseudo aneurysm in Behcet’s disease. Therefore, invasive procedures should be avoided as much as possible. We evaluated the case of Behcet’s disease with radiological findings that had superficial femoral artery (SFA) pseudoaneursym with non-invasive methods such as Color Doppler Ultrasound (CDU) and Computed Tomographic Angiography (CTA).

Keywords: Behcet’s disease, computed tomographic angiography, pseudoaneursym.

Behçet hastalýðý, nedeni bilinmeyen, vaskülit ile seyreden multisistemik inflamatuar bir hastalýktýr. Arteriyel tutulum daha nadir olup, sýklýkla anevrizma þeklindedir. Vasa vasorumlarýn inflamatuar obliterasyonuna sekonder psödoanevrizma geliþebilir. Behçet hastalýðýnda minör travmalar dahi psödoanevrizma oluþturabileceði için olabildiðince invaziv iþlemlerden kaçýnmak gerekir. Sunumumuzda, yüzeyel femoral arterinde psödoanevrizma bulunan bir Behçet hastalýðý olgusunun Renkli Doppler Ultrason (RDUS) ve Bilgisayarlý Tomografik Anjiyografi (BTA) gibi noninvaziv yöntemlerle konulan tanýsý tartýþýlmýþtýr.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Behçet hastalýðý, bilgisayarlý tomografik anjiyografi, psödoanevrizma.
