Behçet’s disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis that may progress with recurrent oral and genital aphthous ulceration and uveitis as well as
locomotor, vascular, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, and neurological involvement. Although the rate of vascular involvement in BD varies
from country to country, it varies between 1-38% in series. Venous involvement is more common than arterial involvement, and the
most common form of involvement is lower extremity deep vein thrombosis; thrombosis may also cause occlusion in the superior and
inferior vena cava. In this article, a case of BD presenting with bilateral jugular vein thrombosis is discussed.
