Behcet's disease is an inflammatory multisystemic vasculitis characterized by orogenic ulcers and ocular lesions and its etiology is still unknown. The incidence of aortic aneurysms is 2 to 6% in patients with Behcet's disease and 18% of these aneurysms are in multiple pattern. Herein, we represent the first case of a dual true saccular abdominal aneurysm in Behcet's disease which was treated with endovascular repair technique. [Turk J Vasc Surg 2019; 28(2.000): 120-2]
