[Thrombosis of the superior mesenteric artery and Behçet's syndrome].
The authors describe the third case in the literature of superior mesenteric artery's thrombosis occurring in the course of the Behçet's syndrome according to Mason and Barnes classification. Clinical manifestations in the patient were represented by intestinal angor. The literature data concerning vascular involvement in Behçet's disease, particularly thrombosis are reviewed. The value of noninvasive paraclinic arterial digestive explorations is discussed.
