Abstract:   (6705 Views)
Background: Hughes-Stovin Syndrome (HSS) is a rare clinical disorder characterized by deep venous thrombosis and multiple pulmonary and/or bronchial aneurysms. Aneurysms in systemic circulation can also be seen.
Case presentation: We report the first case of HSS with aortic aneurysm in a 55-year-old man who initially presented with deep venous thrombosis. The diagnosis of HSS revealing Behçet’s disease was made given the history of recurrent oral and genital ulcers. Treatment consisted of 3 daily pulses of methylprednisolone (1g) followed by oral prednisone (1mg/kg daily) and 6 monthly pulses of cyclophosphamide. Oral anticoagulation treatment was  held  3 months and then was stopped with good outcome.
Conclusion: Systemic aneurysms in Hughes Stovin is a worth knowing complication which may reveal Behçet’s disease.

Keywords: Behçet syndrome, Hughes-Stovin syndrome, Aortic aneurysm
