A patient with vascular Behçet's syndrome (BS), a subtype of BS with mainly venous/arterial manifestations, presented with a left main aneurysm/thrombus and cardiogenic shock. The clinical diagnosis of BS includes mucocutaneous, vascular, and neurologic criteria. It is important to consider vascular BS as a nonatherosclerotic cause of coronary aneurysms.
