## TL;DR

This case report describes a rare and severe case of Behcet's disease involving multiple venous thromboses and kidney failure, stressing the need for early diagnosis.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in presenting a rare combination of multiple venous thromboses and renal failure in Behcet's disease.

## Key findings

- Behcet's disease can present with rare vascular complications such as multiple venous thromboses.
- The case emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis to manage systemic disease complexity.
- Chronic renal failure requiring dialysis was observed alongside thromboses in this patient.

## Abstract

Behcet's disease (BD) is a systemic condition of unknown etiology, characterized by a wide clinical polymorphism. Vascular involvement in BD is rare and can be revealing in many cases. We present an advanced case of BD with multiple venous thromboses associated with urgent dialysis-dependent end-stage chronic renal failure. This case highlights the complexity of managing BD, emphasizing the challenges associated with multiple thromboses and the crucial importance of early diagnosis to optimize the management of this systemic disease.
