Abstract
Behcet disease is a rare condition in central Europe but more common in Mor roco. A case of multiple intracranial arterial aneurysms occurring in a 44 year-old Moroccan patient with 2-years history of Behcet's disease is repor ted. CT-scan showed an infarction in the right middle cerebral artery terri tory. Panangiography showed sacciform aneurysms of the bifurcation of the r ight and left middle cerebral arteries. The draining veins and sinuses were normal. The two aneurysms were successfully clipped by two microsurgical f rontotemporal approach in one surgical time. There have been only eight rep orts of intracranial arterial aneurysms associated to Behcet disease in the literature.
