Endovascular treatment of Behçet's disease-associated intracranial aneurysms: report of two cases and review of the literature.
Behçet's disease (BD) is a well-known multisystem inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology. Aneurysms of the cerebral arteries are not commonly described in patients with BD. There are few cases of intracranial aneurysms with BD reported in the literature. In this study, we report endovascular treatment of BD-related ruptured intracranial aneurysms in two cases, and present a wide literature review of intracranial arterial aneurysms related to BD.
