Abstract: Behçet's syndrome is a systemic vasculitis characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, uveitis, and often involvement of multiple organ systems. Neurological involvement is a rare complication of Behçet's syndrome and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Neuro-Behçet's syndrome (NBS) is a combination of neurologic manifestations in a patient with Behçet's syndrome, including movement disorders, myelopathic syndrome, intracranial hypertension, and a multiple sclerosis-like presentation. Diagnosis of NBS can be challenging due to the wide range of clinical presentations. Although previous research has aided in advancing the understanding of the pathophysiology and treatment of systemic Behçet's syndrome, there is a lack of randomized controlled studies involving the treatment of NBS. This case report describes a patient with NBS who experienced a complex hospital course, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary team approach to address various complications.
