Abstract
Behcet syndrome is a multisystem disease complex of unknown cause. It is usually manifested by aphthous oral and genital ulcers, uveitis and skin eruption. Less frequently, CNS involvement, colitis, large vessel vasculitis, and myocarditis occur. Recently, several studies have reported renal manifestations of amyloidosis and focal necrotizing glomerulonephritis in Behcet syndrome. We describe a patient with Behcet syndrome who experienced nephrotic syndrome with focal effacement of epithelial foot process in glomeruli. A brief review of literature ensues.
