Abstract

Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic systemic disorder and neurological involvement in BD is a well-known entity. Some other clinical syndromes like dural venous thrombosis, acute myelitis, isolated intracranial hypertension in association with BD have been reported previously, but among these, involvement of optic nerve is a quite rare neuro-ophthalmological manifestation. Here, we report a patient with Behçet's disease presenting with acute optic neuropathy. Behçet's disease should also kept in mind while evaluating any patient presenting with acute optic neuropathy without any other ocular signs, in order to reach the correct diagnosis and treatment at once.

Özet

Behçet hastalığı kronik sistemik bir bozukluktur ve beraberinde sinir sistemi tutulumu iyi bilinmektedir. Hastalığı bağlı olarak dural venöz tromboz, izole kafa içi basınç artışı, akut myelit gibi sendromlar bildirilmiştir, ancak bunların arasında optik sinir tutulumu nadir görülen bir nörooftalmolojik belirtidir. Burada akut optik nöropati ile gelen bir Behçet hastasını sunmaktayız. Akut optik nöropati dışında göz bulgusu olmayan bir hasta ile karşılaşıldığında, bir an önce tanıya ulaşmak ve tedaviyi başlatmak açısından, Behçet hastalığı da mutlaka akılda tutulmalıdır.
