Abstract

Behçet s disease (BD) is a chronic, relapsing, systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. Neuro-Behçet s disease (NBD) is seen in more than 20% of all cases diagnosed with BD and has an increased tendency to affect men more than women. A 27-year-old man presenting with a clinical picture of acute meningitis unresponsive to the antibacterial treatment, subsequently diagnosed as NBD, was presented. No neurological relapse was observed during the one-year follow-up. In cases with central nervous system involvement resembling acute meningitis without a history of BD, NBD should be kept in mind.

Özet

Behçet hastalığı (BH) etyolojisi tam olarak bilinmeyen, kronik, tekrarlayıcı, sistemik bir vaskülittir. Nöro-Behçet hastalığı (NBH), tüm BH tanısı koyulmuş olguların %20sinde görülür ve erkekleri kadınlardan daha çok etkileme eğilimi sergiler. Bu yazıda, daha önce BH tanısı almamış, akut menenjiti taklit eden ancak antibakteriyel tedaviye yanıt alınamaması sonucu NBH tanısı konulan 27 yaşında bir olgu sunuldu. Hastanın bir yıllık izleminde nörolojik relaps görülmedi. NBH, daha önceden BH öyküsü olmayan, akut menenjite benzer santral sinir sistemi tutulumu olan hastalarda akılda tutulmalıdır.
