Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Diverse clinical manifestations have characterized reports of central nervous system involvement in Behcet disease. There is a limited number of published case reports of neuro-Behcet disease mimicking brain tumor. CASE DESCRIPTION:We present a rare case of neuro-Behcet disease exhibiting mixed systemic and neurological symptoms mimicking malignant lymphoma. Delayed presentation of oral aphthae and rapid improvement of symptoms with steroid treatment led to a diagnosis of neuro-Behcet disease without brain biopsy. The patient also underwent surgery for the resection of an arterio-venous fistula. CONCLUSIONS:We recommend management of neuro-Behcet disease based on perceived natural history risks, with the understanding that no data exist on this within patients population. A multidisciplinary team approach is always recommended because neuro-Behcet disease is an uncommon condition, especially in neurosurgical practice.
