Abstract

Arterial involvement in Behçet's disease is rare. The exceptional aortic isthmus location is difficult to treat. We report the case of a young man in whom an aortic isthmus aneurysm revealed Behçet's disease. In this exceptional situation, we opted for classical open surgical repair despite current preference for endovascular treatment.
