A 16-year-old boy had incomplete Behcet's disease with common carotid artery aneurysm and an ulcer in the transverse colon. To our knowledge, this complication in the carotid artery has been previously reported in only 6 cases. Arterial repair and high-dose corticosteroid therapy (pulse therapy) were successful.
