In 1937, Hulusi Behçet, a Turkish dermatologist, reported a disease associated with iritis and ulcerations of the mucous membranes of the oral cavity and genitalia. The main symptoms of Behçet’s disease occur not only in the skin, mucosa and eyes, but also in the joints, digestive tract, vascular system, and nervous system. For many years, vascular complications in Behçet’s disease have been attributed to thrombophlebitis, aneurysm and arterial occlusion. Aneurysmal changes develop at relatively earlier ages in this condition. In this case, we report a giant ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm in a patient with Behçet’s disease.
