Gastrointestinal Involvement in Behcet’s Disease

Necati Örmeci

Behcet disease is multisystemic disorder which is characterized by a vasculitis. Gastrointestinal involvement is seen in 0-5% of the patients with Behcet’s disease. The most common places for the involvement are terminal ileum and cecum. However, it may be seen anywhere of the gastrointestinal system from mouth to anus. The lesions are seen as a deep or localized ulcer. Behcet Disease may radiologically imitate inflammatory bowel disease or neoplastic disorders. In those circumstances, Behçet’s disease should be thought for the differential diagnosis.
