Abstract

We hereby present a case of a 34-year-old male patient diagnosed with Behcet's disease where computed tomography revealed the presence of thrombosis and occlusion of the infrarenal aorta and bilateral renal arteries. Such a pattern of vascular involvement is an unusual and uncommon manifestation of Behcet disease.
