ABSTRACT
Acute myocarditis is extremely rare in patients with Behçet disease. Here we report a case of a 32-year-old man with a history of oral ulcerations who was admitted for fever and chest pain. On examination, he had bipolar ulcers with pseudofolliculitis and a positive pathergy test. Electrocardiogram and transthoracic echocardiography were normal. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging revealed left ventricular inferior and lateral wall late gadolinium enhancement. A diagnosis of acute myocarditis revealing Behçet disease was made, and the patient was treated with colchicine and pulses of methylprednisolone, and cyclophosphamide. A 7-month follow-up magnetic resonance image showed a substantial decrease in the late gadolinium enhancement area.
