Sumario: | Behçet’s disease (BD) is a multisystemic vasculitis condition with unknown pathophysiology. Its clinical manifestations include recurrent oral and genital ulcers, cutaneous lesions, and uveitis. The term neuro-Behçet’s disease (NBD) refers to the predominant neurological involvement in BD. The management of NBD is based on the severity of symptoms and the existence of additional systemic signs. Glucocorticoids and disease-modifying drugs are used for the treatment of the disease. In this report, we present a case of neuro-Behçet’s disease (NBD) that presented with coma and extensive neuroradiological abnormalities. |
