Unusual Late Onset of Parenchymal Neuro-Behçet Disease
Neuro-Behçet disease (NBD) is a multisystem inflammatory disorder characterized by oral lesions, genital lesions, uveitis, and neurological deficits. If left untreated, it may lead to worsening neurological function and can be fatal. Here we present a case of a 52-year-old woman who was diagnosed with Behçet disease (BD) as a teenager and had a relatively mild disease course. Decades later afte...
متن کاملNeuro-neutrophilic disease: neuro-Behçet disease and neuro-Sweet disease.
“Neuro-Sweet disease (NSD)” was proposed as a distinct entity of encephalomeningitis in 1999 (1). Sweet disease has been considered as a multisystem inflammatory disorder characterized by painful erythematous plaques, and has been classified as a dermatologic disease. The plaques respond to systemic corticosteroids, and heal without scarring. It has been disclosed that aseptic neutrophilic infl...
متن کاملEvaluation of parenchymal neuro-behçet disease by using susceptibility-weighted imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Neurologic involvement in Behçet disease, also known as NBD, is one of the most devastating manifestations of the disease. The precise pathologic mechanism of parenchymal NBD lesions has not been established. We evaluated lesion characteristics and probable venous hemorrhage in parenchymal NBD by using SWI, and we compared the imaging results with conventional MR imaging ...
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 کاملImpact of Neuro-Behçet Disease Immunoglobulin G on Neuronal Apoptosis.
INTRODUCTION Parenchymal neuro-Behçet disease (NBD) is encountered in 5%-15% of Behçet disease (BD) patients and is characterized by inflammation of the brainstem and diencephalon structures. Neuronal apoptosis has been shown to participate in neuronal cell loss. Anti-neuronal antibodies have been identified in NBD patients. However, the pathogenic properties of these antibodies have not been s...
