Imaging pearls of pediatric Behçet's disease

Abstract

Objective: To emphasize the diverse diagnostic imaging findings of pediatric Behçet's disease and to define the fundamental imaging clues for pulmonary, vascular, gastrointestinal and central nervous system involvements of Behçet's disease in pediatric age group. We also aim to list the major imaging differences of Behçet's disease in childhood and adulthood.

Conclusion: The diagnosis of pediatric Behçet's disease is challenging. Imaging can narrow the differential diagnosis by using some substantial clues and prevent diagnostic delays.
