RESUMEN
Behçet’s disease (BD) is a multi-organ involved inflammatory disorder described by recurrent oral ulcers and other systemic manifestations. Almost all the clinical manifestations of BD are believed to be due to vasculitis. On the other hand, the cerebral arteries are rarely involved. Moyamoya disease (MMD) is an unusual chronic cerebrovascular disorder that is described by bilateral progressive stenosis or occlusion of the internal carotid artery and an abnormal collateral vascular network. A 32-year-old woman with MMD was referred for fever, oral pain, and diarrhea, and was diagnosed with BD. Her MMD was aggravated during treatment with high dose steroids to control the intestinal BD and a reduction in the MMD medication due to gastrointestinal bleeding. This is the first reported case of intestinal BD in a patient previously diagnosed with MMD, who experienced aggravation of her MMD after the cessation of MMD medication due to aggravated intestinal BD.
