Introduction: Behçet’s disease is a systemic variable vessel vasculitis with unknown cause. Neurologic involvement known as neuro-Behcet’s disease (NBD) is often diagnosed in patients who present neurological symptoms and radiological lesions of the central nervous system.
Case Report: A 42-year-old woman with a history of orogenital ulceration presented with behavioral disorders and heaviness of left hemibody. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed and showed a pseudo-tumor diencephalo-mesencephalic area with T2 and Flair hypersignal, a slight hypersignal in diffusion sequence, and no contrast uptake.
Conclusion: Pseudotumoral NBD is a rare but severe manifestation of Behçet’s disease. Cerebral MRI is the most efficient method to explore, detect, and monitor parenchymal lesions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
