Abstract
Behcet"s disease is an autoimmune multisystemic disorder based on vasculitis. In this disease, the most important predictor of
morbidity and mortality is the vascular complications. Appropriate surgical interventions are strategically important and
remission should be achieved prior to any planned surgery. We present here, 3 patients with Behcet"s disease who were
treated at our institution. (Turkish J Vasc Surg 2003;12(2): 33-35)
