Abstract
Although thoracoabdominal aneurysms are uncommon in Behçet’s disease, surgical therapy for anastomotic aneurysms is usually unsuccessful. A 35-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complainting of chest and back pain. He had an oral aphthous ulcer, acne, sagittal sinus thrombosis and chorioretinitis. Computed tomography (CT) demonstrated aneurysms of the descending thoracic and abdominal aorta. He was given a diagnosis of Behçet’s disease. The celiac-superior mesenteric common trunk, bilateral renal and Adamkiewicz arteries were reconstructed. Anastomotic suture lines were wrapped with a polyester fabric. On serial CT scans, there has not been any sign of abnormality at the anastomotic sites for more than 5 years as of the time of writing.
