Bstract Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is one of the common extra-articular manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and it is associated with high mortality rate. The usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern of RA associated ILD (RA-ILD) shows some similarities to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, suggesting that antifibrotic therapies may have potential positive affects. In this review, we discuss the effectiveness of antifibrotic therapy for RA-ILD. Cite this article as: Bes C, Köybaşı G, İçaçan OC, Mutlu MY, Yıldırım F.

Behcet’s syndrome is a variable vessel vasculitis characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers with concomitant skin, ocular, neurologic, gastrointestinal, and joint involvement. Herein, we present a patient who was diagnosed with Behcet’s syndrome, which with magnetic resonance angiography showed occlusion of the right subclavian artery at the level of the thoracic outlet and reverse flow in the right vertebral artery consistent with subclavian steal syndrome. In addition, partial narrowing was noted in the left renal artery. The distribution of arterial involvement resembled Takayasu’s arteritis, although the presence of mucocutaneous lesions, male gender, history of deep vein thrombosis, and HLA-B51 positivity favored a diagnosis of vasculo-Behçet’s syndrome. We treated the patient with methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide. After the regression of vascular inflammation with immunosuppressive therapy, stenting was performed in the left renal artery.
