Abstract

Behçet's syndrome is a recurrent systemic inflammation with an unknown etiology. The onset of the condition often occurs in the second decade of life and it is more common in males than in females. One of the most feared organ involvements associated with BS is neurological involvement, which often affects the brain stem, although hemispheric involvement may be primary in a limited number of patients. Parenchymal neurological involvement in BS affects the prognosis unfavorably, as it may result in severe sequelae or mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment is important to prevent sequelae. Herein, we report the first case of neuro-Behçet's disease presenting with limbic encephalitis who received early stage immunotherapy.
