Zusammenfassung:	Vascular involvement in Behçet's disease often present as venous thrombosis. Arterial damage is rare. We report a case of Behçet's disease occurring in a 40-year-old woman revealed by a false aneurysm of the left common carotid artery. The intervention consisted in a prosthetic graft after endovascular control. After a 2-year follow-up period, the patient did not develop any postoperative complication.
