Abstract
Behcet's disease (BD) is a multisystem relapsing inflammatory immune-mediated disorder of unknown cause. The Central Nervous System can be affected involving parenchymal and/or vascular topography, such as brainstem, basal ganglia, thalamus, cortex and white matter, spinal cord and cranial nerves.Peripheral nervous system involvement is rare. The neurologic presentations are uncommon, around 10% of historical cases, may present as a primary manifestation or in systemic involvement and more prevalent in younger male patients. Neurobehcet is also associated with abnormalities in complementary exams, like in imaging studies, laboratory and cerebrospinal fluid analysis
