Abstract

Angiographic findings were analysed in 11 cases of Behcet'sdisease which was diagnosed clinically in Seoul national University Hospital from July 1982 to June 1983. Arterial involvement was noted in 5 cases and venous involvement in 6 cases respectively. Arterial aneurysm and occlusion were arteriographic findings.
Arterial aneurysm was noted at large arteries in all 5 cases and multifocal involvement was noted in 4 cases.
Characteristic finding of arterial involvement was protruding saccular aneurysm. Venous involvement was thrombotic occlusion of deep veins in iliac, femoral and tibial areas in all 6 cases.
Behcet's disease should be differentiated whenever these arterial or venous angiographic findings are revealed in a young adult.
