Urgent Surgical Management of Deep Femoral Artery Aneurysm in a Patient with Pre-Vasculo-Behcet Status

抄録

We report a case of deep femoral artery (DFA) aneurysm associated with pre-vasculo-Behcet status. A 34-year-old man with a history of recurring oral and genital ulcers was admitted complaining of worsening left thigh pain over the previous 30 days. Computed tomography showed a left DFA aneurysm (60 mm × 70 mm), concomitant aneurysms in the popliteal and carotid arteries, and deep vein thrombosis. Active pre-vasculo-Behcet status was diagnosed, and DFA ligation was performed urgently. Remission was achieved with postoperative prednisolone and colchicine without vascular complications. DFA aneurysm and vascular pathologies were successfully managed by ligation surgery and medical therapy.
