Abstract

Hughes–Stovin syndrome (HSS) is a rare potentially fatal vasculitis supposedly belonging to the spectrum of Behçet disease without ocular involvement. HSS tends to play by a temporal pattern, starting with thrombosis and followed by formation of pulmonary aneurysms. Since its mortality can reach 25% of cases, early recognition and appropriate therapy represent the major clinical challenges. We describe a rare case of HSS successfully treated via multidisciplinary management by an endovascular approach and immunosuppressive therapy.
