ABSTRACT
Behcet's disease can elicit serious vascular complications such as thrombophlebitis, arterial occlusion, and arterial aneurysm. The most common cause of death in Behcet's disease is secondary to vascular complication. The treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm which was frequently complicated by fatal rupture (60%) is mainly a surgical management. If surgical treatment is not possible due to various causes, alternative medical therapy such as immunosuppressives and steroid would be recommended. We report here the case of medically controlled abdominal aortic aneurysm in a 47-year-old patient with Behcet's disease who refused to undergo surgical treatment. Immunosuppressive therapy and steroid could be an alternative treatment of aneurysmal manifestations in Behcet's disease.
