Br J Rheumatol. 1994 Feb;33(2):170-2. doi: 10.1093/rheumatology/33.2.170.

Abstract

We describe two patients with Behçet's disease who developed mild symptoms of chronic upper limb arterial insufficiency. Angiography revealed multiple arterial occlusions. Slowly progressive arterial involvement may occur in Behçet's disease in the absence of significant symptoms.
