Brain biopsy to aid diagnosis of neuro-Behçet's disease: Case report and literature review

Abstract

Central nervous system involvement in Behçet's disease (Neuro-Behçet's disease: NBD) has been reported to present diverse clinical and pathological manifestations. A few cases presenting with neurological symptoms preceding other systemic features are difficult to be diagnosed. Here we suggest the clinical benefit of brain biopsy with a case of NBD initially presenting neurological symptoms. Keywords: Neuro-Behçet's disease, Magnetic resonance imaging, Brain biopsy
