Association of endomyocardial fibrosis and minor myocarditis sequelae with intracardiac thrombus and Ebstein like valvulopathy in a patient with Behcet disease: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiac complications occur in 1-6% of cases of Behçet disease (BD) with intracardiac thrombus being the most frequent complication. Endomyocardial fibrosis, less common and occasionally associated with intracardiac thrombus, is reported in <20 case reports of BD, among which, three cases are described to mimic Ebstein disease based on echocardiography. We present the first case in the literature of a 34-year-old man with BD diagnosed with multiple cardiovascular complications, highlighting the challenging diagnosis and treatment of this pathology, especially regarding anticoagulation therapy.

Case summary
