ABSTRACT
Behçet's disease is a rare chronic systemic inflammatory disease. It is more common in Turkey, North Africa and Japan. The incidence of vascular involvement (angio-Behçet) is 7 to 38%. The gluteal localization of angio-Behçet is rarely reported and could be revealed late. Aside from aneurysmal rupture, nerve compression with pain and lower limb impotence could be the main clinical signs. Because of the deep location of the lesion, management of this disease can be difficult. The classic surgical treatment remains the gold-standard especially in case of extreme urgency, non-feasibility of endovascular treatment and especially in case of associated nerve compression. We report the case of a 45-year-old man with a history of pulmonary angio-Behcet, who underwent emergency surgery for a huge false aneurism of a collateral of the hypogastric artery treated via a double anterior and posterior approach with good outcome.
