Komplikasyondan tanıya: Vena kava superior sendromundan Behçet hastalığına

Vena kava superior sendromunun (VKSS) belirti ve bulgularını damar tıkanıklığının seviyesi, şiddeti, süresi ile kollateral gelişimi belirlemektedir. Ayrıca hastalığın altında yatan nedene göre de belirti ve bulgulara rastlanabilir. Behçet Hastalığı damar tutulumuna bağlı olarak VKSS'una neden olabilmektedir. Türkiye, Behçet Hastalığının görülme sıklığı yüksek olan ülkelerden biridir. Bu olguda boyunda şişlik, nefes darlığı ve baş dönmesi ile başvuran hastada, Behçet Hastalığının neden olduğu VKSS anlatılmıştır.

Complications to reach the diagnosis: The superior vena cava syndrome to reach Behçet's disease

The superior vena cava syndrome's (SVCS) signs and symptoms are determined by vascular congestion level, intensity, duration and the development of the collaterals. SVCS's signs and symptoms are occured according to the underlying cause of the disease. Behçet's disease can cause to SVCS by vascular involvement. Turkey is one of the countries with a high prevalence of Behçet's disease. In this case, we diagnosed Behçet's disease in a patient with swelling of the neck, shortness of breath and dizziness.
