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. }, URL = {http://caspjim.com/article-1-871-en.html}, eprint = {http://caspjim.com/article-1-871-en.pdf}, journal = {Caspian Journal of Internal Medicine}, doi = {10.22088/cjim.8.4.332}, year = {2017} }
