“…The differential diagnosis in our patients is diverse [15][16][17], It ranges from patients presenting with pseudotumour cerebri, strokes in the young, myelitis with lym phocytic pleocytosis as well as various cranial nerve pal sies. The crux is to ascertain the history of recurrent oral and genital ulcers and to confirm their presence on fol low-up.…”

Neurological Presentation of Neuro-Behçet’s Syndrome: Clinical Categories

In an attempt to categorise the diverse neurological manifestations of Behçet’s syndrome, a group of 10 patients was prospectively studied; the diagnosis of Behpet’s syndrome was not known in any of them prior to their neurological presentation. A reasonably clear distinction can be made to divide the manifestations into three general categories with some overlap. Category I includes patients with increased intracranial pressure with or without cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Category II are those presenting with a stroke. Category III are those patients who present with spinal cord involvement and CSF pleocytosis. Brainstem involvement was noted independently of the group. In general, patients with Neuro-Behçet’s syndrome showed little ocular involvement. The course of the illness both in morbidity and mortality tended to be better in category I, and mortality was only seen in category II patients. In populations susceptible to the disease, the clinical categorisation proposed may alert the clinician to the possibility of neuro-Behçet’s syndrome whenever patients with pseudotumour cerebri, dural sinus thrombosis, stroke in the young, unexplained myelitis or possible multiple sclerosis are encountered.

“…5,6 Brainstem involvement is the most common presentation of BD, 7 and presents as various combinations of sensorimotor longtract signs, cranial nerve palsies and cerebellar signs. 8,9 Hemispheric manifestations include hemiplegia or hemiparesis, hemihypoesthesia, visual field defects, language disorders, central diabetes insipidus, seizures, depression and anxiety, euphoria and disinhibition, parkinsonism and involuntary movements. [10][11][12][13] Memory disturbance is more common and severe than with any other neuropsychological disorder.…”
