Cerebral pseudotumoral form of Behçet’s disease: about 3 cases
2020
Abstract Behcet’s disease is a multisystem vasculitis which can involve the nervous system known as Neuro-Behcet’s disease. Neurological involvement is uncommon in Behcet’s disease, and has a highly variable prevalence. An atypical rare form with pseudotumoral lesions has been described in literature and only a few cases have been reported. we report herein a case of three patients with pseudotumoral neuro-Behcet’s disease aged between 30 and 45 years old, with a history of recurrent orogenital ulceration. All patients presented with neurological symptoms associated with at least one large space-occupying lesion on cerebral imaging. Behcet’s disease was diagnosed according to the International Study Group criteria. All cases received corticosteroids and immunosuppressant agents with a spectacular clinical and radiological improvement.
