Video-assisted thoracic surgery for the management of pleural and pericardial effusion in Behçet's syndrome.

A 28-year-old man, who presented with pleural and pericardial chylous effusion secondary to superior vena cava syndrome, was diagnosed with Behcet's syndrome. A pericardial window was created by video-assisted thoracic surgery to relieve cardiac tamponade, and this technique also enabled lung biopsy, pleural abrasion, and drainage of the pleural effusion. We report this case because of its rarity. To the best of our knowledge, the literature contains no other report of the use of video-assisted thoracic surgery for creating a pericardial window for the treatment of cardiac tamponade in a case of Behcet's syndrome.

Behçet's syndrome in a family with inflammatory bowel disease.

Although the gastrointestinal and systemic features of Behcet's syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease overlap to a considerable extent, they are generally viewed as two distinct diseases. We evaluated three members of a family who have inflammatory bowel lesions, two of whom met criteria for Behcet's syndrome. The propositus had classic features of both Crohn's ileocolitis and Behcet's syndrome. A daughter, who never met criteria for Behcet's syndrome, had undergone colectomy for ulcerative colitis. A second daughter had classic features of Behcet's syndrome, including recurrent episodes of colitis with distinct aphthous ulcers in the colon. The findings in this family suggest that inflammatory bowel disease and Behcet's syndrome may be closely related and part of a spectrum of disease rather than distinct disease entities.

Urologic screening for men with Behçet's syndrome.

OBJECTIVES: To establish the urologic status of men with Behcet's syndrome, because studies assessing the urologic aspect of Behçet's syndrome are rare. METHODS: During a 2.5-year period, we evaluated 104 male patients with Behçet's syndrome, 16 to 50 years old (mean 31+/-7), using a urologic questionnaire and modified Boyarsky symptom score; 44 healthy men, 20 to 46 years old (mean 29+/-7), were used as control subjects. RESULTS: The frequency of epididymitis in patients with Behçet's syndrome was 19.2% in this study. The mean irritative symptom score was 1.22+/-1.37 (significantly higher than the control group). The frequency of lower urinary tract symptoms (eg, dysuria, urgency, nocturia, terminal dribbling, and intermittency) was significantly higher in patients with Behcet's syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the frequency of epididymitis in men with Behcet's syndrome was much higher than previously reported. Because some lower urinary tract symptoms were significantly more frequent in these patients, we conclude that screening of such patients with urologic questionnaire and symptom scoring is essential to identify those who need further urologic evaluation.
