La enfermedad de Behçet es una vasculitis de etiología desconocida que afecta a arterias y venas de distintos tamaños y en la cual se pueden producir aneurismas pulmonares. Aportamos un caso de un paciente con enfermedad de Behçet y un aneurisma de la arteria pulmonar que fue estudiado mediante radiografía convencional de tórax, tomografía computarizada helicoidal y arteriografía pulmonar. La tomografía computarizada helicoidal resulta un buen método para el diagnóstico y seguimiento de estos pacientes.

Behçet's disease is a vasculitis of unknown etiology that affects arteries and veins of different sizes and can be associated with pulmonary artery aneurysms. We report the case of a patient with Behçet's disease and a pulmonary artery aneurysm who was studied by means of plain chest X ray, helical computed tomography and pulmonary arteriography. Helical computed tomography is a reliable technique for the diagnosis and follow-up of these patients.
