Abstract

Although more than 4 decades have passed since Behçet defined his triple symptom complex, the exact aetiology and pathogenesis of this process are still undecided. The oral, genital and ocular manifestations initially described have since been extended to include skin, joints, brain, blood vessels, intestine, heart, lungs and kidneys as well [4, 11].
