Abstract:
We report herein a. case of angio-Behqets syndrome, arterial occlusion type in a 31 year-old male. He had a history of scrotal ulceration, frequent oral ulceration and ocular pain with decreased visual acuity. About 8 months ago, moderately dull pain developed on the volar aspect of left index finger. Subsequently, a bean sized bluish patch developed on the previous painful area and on the ipsilateral thumb tip. Subungual splinter hemorrhages developed on the distal portions of left thumb and index finger nails at the same time. The result of saline puncture test showed the positive reaction in both intradermal and subeutaneous injections. The hrachial angiography showed an obliteration of digital artery at the second proxirnal phalanx of ulnar side.
