Özet
Objectives This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic performance of measuring intima‐media thickness (IMT) and whole wall thickness (WWT) of deep and superficial veins in the lower extremity of Behcet's disease (BD). Methods This cross‐sectional study included 67 Behcet patients and 64 healthy control subjects. IMT and WWT of the common femoral (CFV) and great saphenous veins (GSV) were measured by a blinded radiologist using ultrasound. Behcet patients were classified into two groups, namely the vascular and non‐vascular groups. The diagnostic performance of the measurements of vein wall thickness in BD was assessed using receiver operating analysis. Results Bilateral IMT and WWT of the CFV and GSV were significantly higher in BD than in controls (p < 0.01). In the vascular Behcet group, all measurements were also significantly increased compared with the non‐vascular Behcet …
