A case of multiple intracranial arterial aneurysms occurring in a 43 year-old patient with an 8-year history of Behcet's disease is reported. The diagnosis was based upon the past occurrence of polyarthritis, oral and scrotal aphthous ulcers and cutaneous hypersensitivity. There was a three year remission after a brief treatment with corticosteroids. At the end of this period, a left hemiplegia occurred. CT scan showed an infarction in the right middle cerebral artery territory. Angiography showed fusiform aneurysms of the intracranial right internal carotid, right anterior and middle cerebral arteries. The draining veins and sinuses were normal. Careful angiographic examination of visceral and peripheral arteries showed only bilateral retinal artery aneurysms. Large artery involvement is a rare complication of Behcet's disease, and a thorough review of the literature showed only one reported case of an intracranial aneurysm.

D002532 Intracranial Aneurysm Abnormal outpouching in the wall of intracranial blood vessels. Most common are the saccular (berry) aneurysms located at branch points in CIRCLE OF WILLIS at the base of the brain. Vessel rupture results in SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGE or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Giant aneurysms (>2.5 cm in diameter) may compress adjacent structures, including the OCULOMOTOR NERVE.
