[Behcet's disease and iatrogenic arterial complications: importance of pre-operative noninvasive explorations].

We report a case of Behçet's disease complicated with a popliteal aneurysm, which appeared 8 years after first etiologic diagnosis. The points of interest of this observation are the pre-operative explorations and particularly the Magnetic Resonance Angiography (RMA). This last seems to be particularly safe for aortic and lower limbs aneurysms explorations, and can be performed without arterial functions. In fact the risk of arteriogram is effective in Behçet's disease with secondary false aneurysms. RMA and US-Doppler scan must be first proposed in Behçet's disease in case of aortic and peripheral aneurysms.

[Basic aspects and current trends in iatrogenic kidney diseases. Correlations between their physiopathological mechanisms and clinical findings for the general practitioner].

Iatrogenic origins may be assigned to any form of kidney disease. Of the pathogenetic mechanisms involved, increasing importance is now attached to immunological responses and intravascular coagulopathies, though other processes long known to medicine have not ceased to play their part. Moreover, recent advances in the improvement of drugs and the standardisation of their use have given a better idea of the potential damage to the kidneys from many substances. A re-examination is made of the main findings in this field with a view to offering a simple summary of the underlying physiopathogenetic mechanisms, and drawing the diagnostic and clinical conclusions therefrom, so as to aid the general practitioner rather than the specialist. An account of the various medical interventions that may lead to kidney lesions, and the circumstances in which such interventions are most likely to be harmful, is followed by an analysis of recent opinions on the correct way of administering drugs in patients with kidney disease, so as to limit their potentially harmful effects as far as possible.
