Özet: Calcification of the trochlea is an entity which incidentally may be encountered on routine CT scans. It can be seen unimportant and generally even not noticed. Trochlear calcification (TC) can accompany diseases such as diabetes mellitus, autoimmune disorders (including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Crohn disease, Sjogren syndrome and scleroderma), endocrine diseases, chronic renal insufficiency and trauma. Especially It can be beneficial for early diagnosis in young patients. We presented a patient under 40 years old with behcet disease who had TC without symptoms. There is no information in literature about connection between behcet disease and TC despite of the fact that it was noticed in another rheumatological diseases.
