Abstract

Behçet's disease is a multisystemic, potentially life-threatening condition with vascular involvement and thrombotic tendency. The disease course is characterized by exacerbations and remissions. Lower extremity vein thrombosis is the most frequent manifestation of vascular involvement, followed by vena cava thrombosis, pulmonary artery aneurysms, peripheral artery aneurysms, dural sinus thrombosis and abdominal aorta aneurysms. The case in this report was considered worth reporting due to vena cava thrombosis extending from brachiocephalic to jugular vein, accompanying thrombosis of the contralateral brachiocephalic vein and jugular veins as well as simultaneous dural sinus thrombosis, and also benefit from thrombolytic therapy.
