Abstract
We report a case of a 27-year-old man who presented with an acute myoc ardial infarction. When he was hospitalized one month later to evaluat e this recent event, he developed clinical findings consistent with th e diagnosis of Adamantiadis-Behcet's syndrome. We believe that the myo cardial infarction was due to coronary arteritis, because there were n o risk factors for coronary disease present.
