چکیده
A 27-year-old Japanese man presented with erythema nodosum and consciousness opacity of four days in duration. He had panuveitis and fever. A cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis revealed 100/mm pleocytosis (polynuclear cells, 87%) and the elevation of interleukin-6 (5,630 pg/mL). Brain MRI demonstrated multiple hemorrhagic cerebral cortical lesions with gadolinium enhancement (Picture A, DWI; C, T1WI; D, gadolinium T1WI), but normal MR venography (Picture B). Cerebral venous thrombosis was not proven. The patient was positive for human leukocyte antigen-B51. He did not completely fulfil the International Study Group criteria for acute neuro-Behçet’s disease
