Abstract
A 62-year-old man with a complete type of Behçet's disease suffering from lower abdominal pain was admitted to our hospital. Abdominal CT and angiograms demonstrated a right isolated iliac aneurysm. When his general conditions had become stable, we evaluated the activity of Behçet's disease, especially inflammation and the existence of intestinal lesions, and found no abnormalities. He underwent graft replacement for the iliac aneurysm. The postoperative course was uneventful. Angiograms revealed good opacification of the graft and no abnormality of the anastomotic site. Some reports have emphasized anastomotic complications of vascular surgery associated with Behcet's disease. We should periodically check for inflammatory signs, anastomotic aneurysm and other recurrent aneurysms.
