Abstract
AbstractFew case reports have mentioned the aortic sinus aneurysm invading ventricular septum and dissection caused by Behcet’s disease. Here, we reported a 36-year-old male patient with an aortic sinus aneurysm invading the ventricular septum and dissection caused by Behcet’s disease, who manifested as recurrent chest tightness and shortness of breath. Cardiac ultrasound showed the rupture of the right aortic sinus and the formation of ventricular septal dissection. Ascending aortic valve prosthesis replacement, mitral valvuloplasty with ring implantation and tricuspid valvuloplasty were performed. Postoperatively, he was treated with hormones, hydroxychloroquine sulfate, mycophenolate mofetil tablets, thalidomide and warfarin, and his symptoms were relieved. This is a rare case easily being misdiagnosed and missed, early diagnosis and in-time treatment are crucial to avoid surgical complications. The diagnostic and therapeutic approaches of this patient were reported and related literature was reviewed in this case report.
