  Cardiac Behçet disease
  Behçet disease is an inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology showing diverse clinical presentations. Cardiac involvement is a critical problem that requires a timely diagnosis and management. Cardiac Behçet disease is presented as aortic valvulitis/aortitis or inflammatory mass lesion.
  Synopsis
  severe aortic regurgitation with redundant prolapsing aortic cusps
  irregular mass lesions in the right ventricular cavity
  The aortic root is also involved with aortic (...)

  Cardiovascular syphilitic infection
  The incidence of late manifestations of syphilis have declined almost to a rare entity since the era of antibiotics. Before the discovery of penicillin, tertiary syphilis infection was the most common cause of thoracic aortic aneurysm, resulting in 5–10% of cardiovascular deaths.
  The primary lesion of cardiovascular syphilis is aortitis, an inflammatory response to the invasion of the aortic wall by the Treponema pallidum that evolves to obliterative (...)
