ABSTRACT
Behcet's disease is form of systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. One surprising feature is that arterial involvement is less common in this disease than venous forms, accounting for 1 to 7% of patients. In 7 to 30% of cases the vascular symptoms precede the clinical diagnosis of Behcet. We describe the case of a patient with Thromboangiitis Obliterans who was treated with lumbar sympathectomy and an aortobiiliac bypass. Around 1 year later he was diagnosed with Behcet's disease after presenting with oral ulcers, genital ulcers and scaling lesions on the hands.
RESUMO
A Doença de Behçet é uma vasculite sistêmica de etiologia desconhecida. O inusitado é que o acometimento arterial nesta doença é menos comum que o venoso, correspondendo a 1 a 7% dos pacientes. Já os sintomas vasculares precedem o diagnóstico clínico de Behçet em 7 a 30%. Relatamos o caso de um paciente portador de Tromboangeíte Obliterante que foi submetido a simpatectomia lombar e derivação aorto-bi-ilíaca. Após cerca de um ano, diagnosticou-se Doença de Behçet, devido a quadro clínico de úlceras orais, genitais e lesões descamativas nas mãos.
