Internal Carotid Artery Dissection in a Patient with Behçet's Syndrome

  • Published:
Annals of Vascular Surgery

Abstract

The authors report a case of internal carotid artery dissection in a young woman with Behçet’s syndrome. The authors postulate that a vasculitis of the vasa vasorum already suspected as the basis of aneurysm formation in course of Behçet’s syndrome can account for occurrence of arterial dissection in this inflammatory condition.
