摘要
Introduction. Clinical involvement of the central nervous system occurs in about 10 to 30 percent of patients with Behvet's disease. Neurological pseudo tumoral presentation is rare. Case report. We report a case of pseudo tumoral neuro-Behcet disease in a 38-year-old man, with past history of facial and dorsal folliculitis, who presented suddenly headache, right hemiplegia, aphasia and disturbed consciousness. Neuroradiological investigations showed a pseudo tumoral lesion in the left capsulo-thalamic region extending to the homolateral peduncle. The patient improved with steroid and immunosuppresseur therapy. Conclusion. The clinical and radiological presentation of neuroBehcet's disease can mimic a brain tumor.
