Increased inferior vena cava wall thickness as a sign of extensive venous inflammation in Behçet's Disease.

This study shows that venous wall inflammation is not limited to lower extremity veins and is also present in IVC walls of BD patients regardless of IVC involvement. Vascular wall inflammation is probably a widespread vascular event of all venous walls in BD. Key Points • Venous wall inflammation is not limited to lower extremity veins and is present also in IVC wall in Behçet's disease. • Extensive venous wall inflammation in Behçet's disease includes large venous structures despite not being clinically involved.
