متن کاملNeuro-Behçet disease mimicking brain tumor.
Neuro-Behcet disease is one of the clinical forms of Behcet disease. We report a case of neuro-Behcet disease mimicked a brain tumor. This case was initially considered as a brain tumor from mass lesion with edema at left basal ganglia on radiologic images. The lesion, however, was not neoplasia by pathologic diagnosis. By using steroid therapy, the size had been markedly shrunken on the follow...
متن کاملA brainstem plus sign in neuro-Behçet disease.
Picture 1. (A-F) Axial FLAIR brain MRI revealed multiple hyperintense lesions involving bilateral pontomedular junctions, right-sided midbrain, thalamus and gangliocapsular area. This finding of confluent brainstem lesions extending into unilateral thalamus and basal ganglia is so-caled “brainstem plus”sign. (G) Lesions were isointense on T1-weighted image. (H) T1-weighted axial MRI with gadoli...
