Behcet's Syndrome

Behcet’s syndrome is a systemic inflammatory disorder that involves several organ systems and is exceptionally rare in the Western world. The diagnosis is frequently difficult as it resembles several other disease processes. A 23-year-old male with a previous presumptive diagnosis of Crohn’s disease presented to our unit with genital ulceration. This is on a background of recurrent perianal abscesses requiring surgical drainage and seton placement. He subsequently developed a complex perianal fistula extending from the rectum to the perineum and left groin. After drainage and an unsuccessful trial of biologic immunosuppressive therapy, he developed several papulopustular cutaneous lesions and oral ulcerations. The diagnostic criteria for Behcet’s syndrome was met and he was referred to a rheumatologist for ongoing management.

Behcet's Syndrome

Behçet’s syndrome is an inflammatory disorder of unknown aetiology that involves arteries and veins of all sizes. Most cases are from the countries around the Mediterranean basin, the Middle East and east Asia, with the highest prevalence in Turkey. Clinical features—the disease typically presents in the second and third decades with recurrent oral ulcers (98% of cases), genital ulcers (85%), acneiform lesions (85%), pathergy reaction (60% in some countries), erythema nodosum (50%), uveitis (50%), arthritis (50%), thrombophlebitis (30%), and less commonly with arterial occlusion/aneurysm, central nervous system involvement or gastrointestinal lesions. A relapsing/remitting course is usual. Disease is more severe and mortality is higher in men. The diagnosis is clinical, laboratory findings are nonspecific and there is no specific diagnostic test for Behçet’s syndrome....
