- Abstract
Behcet's disease (BD) is a vasculitic condition that affects arteries and veins of all sizes. Arterial pseudoaneurysm is a rare but life-threatening complication of BD. We reported a 41-year-old man with 20 years history of BD and 5 years history of bilateral blindness. The patient presented with sudden onset of pain and swelling in his left groin and was diagnosed with the ruptured pseudoaneurysm of the left common femoral artery (CFA), which extended into the origins of superficial and deep femoral arteries. The patient was in the active phase of BD; therefore, he was initially treated with corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide pulse therapies and subsequently underwent stent graft placement. Post stenting angiography and postprocedural ultrasonography confirmed the successful exclusion of pseudoaneurysm without any evident complication. Four years of follow-up was uneventful.
