Abstract

Behçet's disease is a chronic multisystemic vasculitis of unknown etiology that evolves in relapses and remissions with a predominance of cutaneous and ocular lesions. It is more frequent in young adults, with a predominantly male population from the Mediterranean and Middle East. Cardiac involvement is rare (1 to 6%) but represents one of the most serious complications that can affect the three tunics of the heart. Cardiac thrombus is uncommon, its diagnosis relies mainly on echocardiography, and the development of the empirical treatment is based on immunosuppressive therapy and anticoagulation depending on the case. We report the case of a 21-year-old man admitted for a 2-month history of fever, loss of weight, and body condition in association with an intracardiac thrombus in the context of Behçet's disease. Intracardiac thrombus is a rare manifestation of Behçet's disease; the diagnosis must be made quickly in order to allow early management.
