3324678017 A life-threatening disorder, believed to be a cardiovascular clinical variant manifestation of Behcet disease, with the association of multiple pulmonary artery aneurysms and peripheral venous thrombosis. Prevalence is unknown but fewer than 30 cases have been reported in the literature since its first description in 1959 by Hughes and Stovin. Patients (mostly men aged 12-40 years) generally present with the nonspecific signs of pulmonary artery aneurysms, following a history of peripheral venous thrombosis. Other associated signs may include fever and intracranial hypertension. Aneurysms can occur anywhere in the systemic circulation. Recurrent phlebitis also commonly involves the large vessels, resulting in thrombus formation. In general, there is a predisposition for thrombus formation affecting the peripheral veins. It is assumed the disease is a form of vasculitis following a similar mechanism of pathogenesis to that thought to be involved in Behcet disease. en Definition Active Entire term case sensitive (core metadata concept) SNOMED CT core
