ABSTRACT
The venous thrombosis is the most common vascular event in Behcet's disease. Among the thrombotic complications of Behcet's disease, thrombosis in superior vena cava is rare, but once it happens, it may be life-threatening. In this report, we describe a case of 45-year-old female with Behcet's disease complicated by the superior vena cava thrombosis, which was treated successfully with the operation and then endovascular stenting. This case shows that endovascular stent may be one of good strategies for the management of vascular complication in Behcet's disease.
