Superficial venous thrombosis is frequent; its main risk factor is variceal veins’ presence in lower limbs, although it can occur in other prothrombotic states. Behçet syndrome is a chronic disease characterized by recurrent oral and genital aphthous and ocular involvement; vascular involvement may also appear, which is a diagnostic criterion.
A 62-year-old woman, with recurrent oral and ocular involvement (uveitis) was admitted in the emergency room because of superficial venous thrombosis, meeting diagnostic criteria for Behçet syndrome. The treatment of vein thrombosis in Behçet syndrome is immunosuppression. We started azathioprine, and no recurrences were registered.
