Intracardiac thrombus in Behçet´s disease: a rare case in Morrocco
Abstract
Behçet´s syndrome is a systemic inflammatory disease generally presented with the triad of uveitis, oral and genital ulcers. However, it may present with gastrointestinal, central nervous system, skin and vascular disease manifestations. Intracardiac thrombus is a rare but serious complication of Behçet´s disease. A 16-year-old man with Behçet's syndrome was hospitalized into our department with a history of cough, fever, chest pain, hemoptysis, and weight loss. Transthoracic echocardiography and Chest scan revealed a right ventricular thrombus. After one month of treatment with cyclophosphamide, and corticosteroid the intracardiac thrombus has been resolved.
