Pathologically defined neuro-, vasculo-, entero-Behçet's disease

J Rheumatol. 1985 Dec;12(6):1186-90.

Abstract

Behçet's disease is characterized clinically by the presence of a diagnostic triad of stomatitis, genital ulceration and uveitis. Multiple other organ systems may be involved. Prognosis is related to the presence of central nervous system, vascular or intestinal involvement. This report describes the pathology of neuro-, vasculo- and entero-Behçet's disease in a single patient.
