title: [Manubrio-sternal arthritis and behcet's disease: report of 3 cases].
abstract: Manubrio-sternal joint involvement in arthritis is described and may be evidenced by erosion, reactive sclerosis and ankylosis. Some reports of such involvement appear in the radiological literature in association with psoriatic arthritis and spondylarthropathy. Involvement of the manubrio-sternal joint in Behçet's disease is very uncommon. To our knowledge, only one case has been described. We report a case of manubrio-sternal arthritis in a women with Behçet's disease. Two others cases with suspicion of Behçet's disease are described.
