Behçet’s disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder manifesting as a vasculitis that affects arteries and veins of any size. Up to 44% of cases may also present with neurological symptoms, thus defining Neuro-Behçet’s disease. We describe a case of Neuro-Behçet’s disease characterized by progressive behavioral and cognitive deterioration prevailing over other neurological symptoms, without evident systemic involvement.

Up to 44% of cases may also present with neurological symptoms, thus defining Neuro-Behçet’s disease. We describe a case of Neuro-Behçet’s disease characterized by progressive behavioral and cognitive deterioration prevailing over other neurological symptoms, without evident systemic involvement.File in questo prodotto:
