Özet

Behcet's syndrome (BS) is a variable vessel vasculitis with multi-organ involvement. Recurrent episodes of oral and genital ulcers, papulopustular and erythema nodosum-like skin lesions, and arthritis are relatively more frequent, whereas uveitis, venous and arterial lesions, nervous system, and gastrointestinal involvement are less common, but are severe manifestations. The frequency of gastrointestinal involvement shows important variation between countries as more common in the Far East and the United States, and much less common in Turkey and the Middle East. The main clinical signs of gastrointestinal Behcet's disease include abdominal pain, diarrhea, blood in the stool, fever, and weight loss. Ulcers seen in the terminal ileum, cecum, and ascending colon are common endoscopic findings. Herein, we presented the positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging findings of gastrointestinal involvement in BS.
