Behçets disease first defned by Hulusi Behçet in 1937 is a multisystemic disease characterised by relapsing uveitis, oral and genital ulcerations and vascular system involvement. The disease is mostly encountered at 3^rd and^4th decades and especially prevalent at Mediterranean and Far East Asia districts. Aneurysm formation is one of the major manifestations of the disease. We report a case of Behçets disease who has not a family history of the disease. Operation was performed following the diagnostic procedures revealing abdominal and left iliac artery pseudo-aneurysms. Abdominal aortic aneurysm repair has been established with a Dacron patch and iliac artery aneurysm with simple direct suture. Postoperative course was uneventful and the patient was discharged with recovery.
