Right ventricular thrombosis as a manifestation of Behçet's syndrome.
ARYA Atherosclerosis 2017 March
BACKGROUND: Behçet's disease (BD) is a rare condition with a classic triad of oral and genital ulceration and eye disease. Cardiovascular complication is a rare finding in BD.
CASE REPORT: In this report, we present a seventeen years old patient with a history of fever for 20 days, who developed a clot in right ventricle (RV). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and echocardiography demonstrated a thrombosis in RV and a thoracic multi detector computed tomographic image showed pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in patient. The patient was administered with methylprednisolone, cyclophosphamide and anticoagulant. A regular follow-up was carried out. Two months later, the RV clot had disappeared on transthoracic echocardiography (TTE).
CONCLUSION: In BD, early cardiac MRI and echocardiography should be performed for the detection of cardiac involvement, and medical treatment is the first choice of treatment.
