“…The use of aggressive immunosuppressant therapy in these instances, resulting in improvement, underscores the crucial need for a nuanced understanding of immune dynamics in NBD exacerbations influenced by various factors, including infections. This awareness lays the foundation for developing targeted therapeutic approaches that acknowledge the multifaceted nature of these immune-mediated conditions [ 8 , 9 ].…”

Behçet disease (BD) is a recurrent, multisystemic autoimmune vasculitis that affects both small and large vessels. A combination of neurological signs and symptoms in BD is called neuro-Behçet syndrome (NBS). We present the case of a 31-year-old male diagnosed with chronic progressive NBS who presented with multiple relapsing episodes concurrent with infective endocarditis due to intravenous drug abuse, drug-induced hepatitis, acute kidney injury, and septic shock that is not related to BD. Neurological relapsing episodes were treated with steroids azathioprine and colchicine. At the same time, concurrent illnesses were managed appropriately. Infective endocarditis needed valve replacement surgery, and sepsis was treated with selected antibiotics. Fortunately, the patient's brain images and laboratory investigation improved accordingly. On average, patients with parenchymal neuro-Behçet syndrome (P-NBS) have a poor prognosis; within 10 years of diagnosis, 50% of those patients are severely disabled as our patient who became aphasic and quadriplegic.

Non-compact myocardium of the left ventricle is a rare heterogeneous pathology, which is based on the two-layer structure of the myocardium. One layer is formed by compact myocardium, the other layer is a spongy structure with multiple trabeculae and intertrabecular pouches communicating with the cavity of the left ventricle. Despite the fact that several different approaches to the diagnosis of non-compact myocardium of the left ventricle have been developed, there is no generally accepted definition of this form of pathology for both echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. This pathology can occur in any age group and is often asymptomatic. Due to the fact that the etiology and pathogenesis of non-compact myocardium of the left ventricle have not been fully studied, treatment of this disease to date remains nonspecific and symptomatic. In this publication, we present a description of the clinical case of a 29-year-old patient who was diagnosed with non-compact myocardium of the left ventricle. The disease debuted in the form of cardiac arrhythmia; according to the results of Holter monitoring, frequent ventricular extrasystole and atrioventricular block of the first and second degrees were registered. Echocardiography showed a decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction. The diagnosis was made after magnetic resonance imaging of the heart, which revealed the presence of non-compact myocardium of the anterior, lateral and inferior walls of the left ventricle in the apical and middle segments.
