The angio-Behçet syndrome.
Two man presented with recurrent venous thrombosis. One of them also suffered from arterial thrombosis and aneurysm. Additional history-taking revealed that both suffered from recurrent oral and/or genital ulcers, erythema nodosum and iritis. Consequently a diagnosis of 'angio-Behçet syndrome' was made. Related to the clinical observations in these patients, we discuss the complications and the management of angio-Behçet syndrome. Treatment includes anticoagulants and immunosuppressive drugs.
