The Behçet's Disease: Challenging recurrent thrombosis despite dual anticoagulation – A case report
Abstract
This case study investigates the intricate management challenges associated with Behçet's disease, with a specific focus on recurrent thrombotic events, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism in a 41-year-old female patient. Despite adherence to recommended therapeutic management, the patient's persistent thrombotic recurrences highlight the nuanced nature of Behçet's disease and its resistance to conventional treatments. It highlights the complexity of Behçet's disease, necessitating a reevaluation of current guidelines and the need for tailored therapeutic approaches for effective management.
