Abstract
- Behçet's disease (BD) is characterised by the triad of recurrent oral and genital aphthous ulceration, skin lesions and ocular inflammation. This disease frequently affects other systems including neurological, locomotor, cardiac or vascular systems. Recurrent oral and genital aphthous ulcerations are the hallmarks of BD. We hereby report a case of rapidly evolving and aggressive form of BD in a young man presenting with extensive ulcerative lesions in orogenital region leading to obstructive uropathy resulting in acquired urethral meatal stenosis due to inflammatory activity.
