Abstract

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is an uncommon condition in the children. It almost always accompanies a hypercoagulable state. We described a rare case of Behçet’s disease presenting with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension and initially misdiagnosed as coronavirus disease 2019 pneumonia.
