Abstract

Both vein and arterial involvements with various manifestations in Beh et's disease is defined as vasculo-Beh et's disease. Venous lesions such as thrombosis or varices are more common than arterial lesions. Aneurysms or arterial steno-occlusion involving large intracranial arteries are very rare. We report two cases of vasculo-Beh et's disease involving intracranial arteries. The one case presented with carotid-cavernous sinus fistula due to internal carotid aneurysm, and the other case was accompanied by cerebral infarct due to intracranial arterial stenosis. Key Words : Vasculo-Beh et, Intracranial aneurysm, Arterial steno-occlusion
