Abstract

A case of Behçet's disease, in which superior vena cava syndrome was the presenting feature is reported. Magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography revealed a mass lesion in the right atrium. This patient developed bilateral pulmonary artery aneurysms postoperatively and represents one of the bizarre manifestations of Behçet's disease.
