摘要
Behcet's disease (BD) is a chronic, relapsing, systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. Neuro-Behcet'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.
