Cerebral aneurysms in Behçet's disease: a case report

Minim Invasive Neurosurg. 2003 Dec;46(6):361-2. doi: 10.1055/s-2003-812504.

Abstract

A 42-year-old male patient was surgically treated for two cerebral aneurysms, 18 months later he developed manifestations of Behçet's disease. Lack of clinical manifestations as well as angiographic evidence of vasculitis at the time of the cerebral aneurysmal disease argue against the possibility that the aneurysms were complications of the neural involvement of Behçet's disease.
