    Abstract:
    Vasculo-Behçet's disease is a type of Behçet's disease with clinical features based on vasculitis of the arteries or deep veins, and is frequently life threatening. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for the management of vasculo-Behçet's disease. Recent advances in the diagnosis of vasculo-Behçet's disease have been brought about by the use of radionuclide venography for deep vein thrombosis and computed tomography for arterial lesions. In the treatment of vasculo-Behçet's disease, anticoagulants and fibrinolytic agents are beneficial in controlling deep vein thrombosis. Operative therapy is often recommended for the management of arterial aneurysm because rupture of arterial aneurysm is the leading cause of death in patients with Behçet's disease.
