Peripheral aneurysms in Behĉet's disease.
Two patients with Behĉet's disease are reported, both of whom had aneurysms of peripheral arteries. In one the aneurysms were multiple. The aneurysm was replaced with a Terylene prosthesis in one patient, and in the other an autogenous vein bypass was used. In each case a further aneurysm developed adjacent to the vascular anastomosis. Severe ischaemia of the affected limbs subsequently developed in both patients.
