- Abstract
- Beh double dagger et's disease represents a multisystemic inflammatory disease characterized by recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers, and uveitis. Although vascular attack and thrombosis are not major complications in Beh double dagger et's disease, they can still pose risks that must not be overlooked. In this paper, we reported that a 25-year-old female Beh double dagger et's disease patient with complete thrombotic obstruction of the inferior vena cava that was successfully treated by aspiration thrombectomy and balloon angioplasty. The procedure produced marked symptomatic improvement. Currently, data about the treatment and the prophylaxis of thrombotic events in Beh double dagger et's disease are lacking. In this case report, we hope to discuss the future direction of such studies, how we understand the mechanism of Beh double dagger et's disease hypercoagulability, and which treatments can improve thrombotic tendencies in Beh double dagger et's disease.
