          Abstract

          La enfermedad de Behçet es un proceso inflamatorio crónico multisistémico, poco frecuente en edad pediátrica. La afección cardíaca y vascular son posibles, siendo su frecuencia del 2 al 29%. Se reporta el caso de un paciente masculino de 14 años de edad, con 2 años de evolución con fiebre, eritema y úlcera en narina derecha, estomatitis con úlceras aftosas en cavidad oral y desde hace 4 meses con tos productiva con esputo hemoptoico y un cuadro de hemoptisis. Radiografía de tórax, opacidad basal derecha bien circunscrita de 2 cm. Se realiza tomografía axial computada y gammagrafía pulmonar por sospecha de probable malformación vascular. Ecocardiograma reporta masa intracardíaca adherida al ventrículo derecho de 27 x 12 mm. Angiografía pulmonar muestra la presencia de aneurismas de ramas pulmonares bilaterales con trombos. Se inició tratamiento farmacológico a base de inmunosupresión y anticoagulación. Se envía el paciente a cirugía para retiro de trombo por presentar compromiso hemodinámico y riesgo de embolismo. Evoluciona de forma estable y favorable con remisión de las manifestaciones clínicas. Conclusión: La enfermedad de Behçet es una entidad rara en la infancia, que en este caso se presentó asociada a un trombo en el ventrículo derecho y aneurismas de ramas de arteria pulmonar, lo cual es poco frecuente. El tratamiento inmunosupresor y anticoagulación son efectivos para la remisión de las manifestaciones clínicas.

          Behçet's disease uncommon in the pediatric population. Intracardiac thrombus and bilateral pulmonary artery aneurysms are uncommon manifestations. We are reporting one case. A 14 years old patient was admitted, with high fever, dyspnea and hemoptysis since 4 months ago. Two years ago, fever, oral ulcers, aphthae (gingival, palate, tonsils), nose ulceration in and arthralgias- arthritis were noted. Chest radiograph showed round mass in the right lower lung field. The chest tomographic computed scan and pulmonary centellography were done to investigate malformations arterial. An Intracardiac thrombus of 27 x 12 mm was identified in the right ventricle by transthoracic echocardiography. Catheterization and pulmonary angiography showed an aneurism located in the right and left lobares arteries. Medical management with immunosuppressive and anticoagulation therapy resulted in complete remission of the clinical manifestations. Due to heamodynamic compromise surgical removal of the intracardiac thrombus was done. In summary: The Behçet's disease is rare disease in children. Intracardiac thrombus and bilateral pulmonary artery aneurysms are rare complications. Medical treatment (immunosuppressive and anticoagulation) is the first line therapy with resolution of the mucous, skin, cardiac and pulmonary manifestations.

          Current concepts in the etiology and treatment of Behçet disease.

          Behçet disease is an idiopathic, multisystem, chronic, and recurrent disease characterized by exacerbations alternating with phases of quiescence, episodic panuveitis, and aggressive non-granulomatous occlusive vasculitis of the arteries and veins of any size with explosive ocular inflammatory attacks that primarily affect the retinal and anterior segment vasculature of the eye. The disease is characterized by endothelial dysfunction and may produce a wide variety of symptoms. In mild cases, orogenital ulcers and skin lesions are the only findings during the entire clinical course, whereas ocular lesions that occur in more than half of the cases, frequently bilateral, can eventually lead to blindness. Pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and central nervous system involvements may sometimes be life-threatening. This review examines the epidemiology, frequency, immunology, and immunohistopathology of Behçet disease with recent theories of several agents, including phosphoantigens, superantigens, heat-shock proteins, and adenosine deaminase. Perspectives on the possible roles of new etiopathological molecules, such as nitric oxide, endothelin, and homocysteine, are presented. Ocular and systemic clinical features, diagnostic criteria, classifications, laboratory, fundus fluorescein angiography, and radiologic imaging are discussed. Differential diagnosis, disease in pregnancy and childhood, and prognosis with regard to Behçet-induced systemic and ocular complications are also evaluated. Traditional and current treatments with topical, paraocular and systemic corticosteroids, colchicine, dapsone, cyclosporine, azathioprine, methotrexate, cyclophosphamide and chlorambucil are summarized and recent insights into the pharmacology and effects of thalidomide, tacrolimus (FK-506), interferon-alpha, anti-TNF-alpha blocking monoclonal autoantibody (infliximab) and soluble TNF receptor (etanercept) are reviewed. Key clinical investigations with the status of ongoing clinical trials aimed at addressing the drug's efficacy, surgical care, and studies that have raised the possibility of new therapeutic uses are also presented. The challenges posed by the drug's teratogenicity and adverse effects are also considered, if present.

            Intracardiac thrombus in Behçet's disease: a systematic review.

            Intracardiac thrombus formation is a rare but serious complication of Behçet's disease. We aimed to review the clinical and pathologic correlates of cardiac thrombus formation in the context of Behçet's disease. A comprehensive search of the medical literature was conducted using MEDLINE including bibliographies of all selected articles. Although the disease has a unique geographic distribution, being most common in the population of the ancient Silk Route, cases complicated by intracardiac thrombus have mostly originated from the Mediterranean basin and the Middle East. Young men appear to be most at risk, with the right heart the most frequent site of involvement. The first symptoms and signs of the disease frequently precede systemic organ manifestations. In those cases in which intracardiac thrombus occurs, it is apparent in more than half of cases on first recognition of the disease. A diagnosis of Behçet's disease should be considered if a patient presents with a mass in the right-sided cardiac chambers, even in the absence of the characteristic clinical features of the condition. This is particularly applicable if the patient is a young man from the Mediterranean basin or the Middle East.
