Özet: Carotid artery pseudoaneurysms are rare vascular lesions which may occur due to trauma, tumor invasion, radiation, infection, and arteritis. They should be treated as soon as possible to prevent rupture and neurological sequelae. Behçet"s disease is one type of arteritis that typical involves medium and large vessels, causing arterial occlusive disease and aneurysm formation. Herein, we report a case of a carotid artery pseudoaneurysm and stenosis secondary to Behçet"s disease.
