Abstract

Behcet's disease(BD) is a multisystem vasculitis that almost any organ in the body may be involved. Its diagnosis bases on clinical criteria in the absence of any specific laboratory test to confirm it. The clinical criteria proposed for the diagnosis for BD include recurrent oral and genital ulceration, skin lesion, ocular changes, and positive response to pathergy test. Besides these essential features, BD may manifest itself on the gastrointestinal tract, central nervous system, and other systemic involvements. Among these clinical features, recurrent oral ulcers are present in most BD patients, often as the initial symptom, preceding other manifestations by many years. Therefore, dentists are in the important position for the early detection and diagnosis of BD. In this case report, we are presenting a case of 6 year-old girl, who came to the pediatric dentistry department for evaluation and treatment of pain and dysphagia caused by severe recurrent oral ulcers. Through taking detailed dental and medical history and clinical examination, we reported the possibility of BD to the medical team and prescribed topical lidocaine to relief pain during swallowing. The medical team, which involved pediatrics, ophthalmology, dermatology, and gastroenterology, finally confirmed BD through various examinations. Detection of the possibility of BD in the dental field helped early diagnosis and proper management by the medical team.

베체트병은 전신적 혈관염으로 여러 장기에 걸쳐 나타날 수 있으며, 현재로선 확진을 위한 검사 방법이 없으므로 병의 진단은 임상적 증상에 기초하여 내려진다. 구강 및 외음부의 재발성 궤양, 피부 병소, 안구 병소, 및 이상초과민검사(pathergy test)에 대한 반응을 기초로 진단을 내리며, 이 외에도 위장관과 중추신경계에 증상이 나타날 수 있다. 이 중 재발성 구강 궤양은 대부분의 베체트병 환자에서 나타나며, 많은 경우 베체트병의 첫번째 임상 증상으로 발현되기 때문에 치과 영역은 베체트병의 조기 진단에 있어서 중요한 위치에 있다. 본 증례에서 6세 여환은 반복되어 나타나는 재발성 구강 궤양으로 인한 동통 및 섭식 장애를 주소로 본원 소아치과에 내원하였다. 문진 및 병력 채취, 그리고 임상 검사를 통해 치과 영역에서 베체트병을 조기 진단할 수 있었고, 추후 환자는 소아과, 피부과, 소화기내과, 안과와의 협의 진료 하에 베체트병으로 확진되었다. 치과에선 환자의 동통을 완화시키고 섭식을 돕기 위해 도포마취제를 처방하였으며, 추후 베체트병의 확진 하에 그에 따른 적절한 의과적 치료를 시행할 수 있었기에 보고하는 바이다.
