Introduction: Behçet's disease is a systemic vasculitis which rarely occurs in childhood. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical characteristics and outcome of Behçet's disease in Moroccan children.

The presence of these lesions supported diagnosis of tuberculosis in our patient because of their typical clinical and angiographic aspects.
