Abstract
As a chronic multisystemic inflammatory disorder, Behçet's disease may manifest vascular, cardiac, neurological and gastrointestinal abnormalities. However, involvement of large veins, such as thrombosis of the superior or inferior vena cava, is a very rare complication. Herein, a case of superior vena cava syndrome, due to the thrombotic obstructions of the subclavian and brachiocephalic vein, is reported in a 27-year old woman with chronic Behçet's disease.
