Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Behçet's disease is a chronic, recurring systemic inflammatory vasculitis of unknown etiology. If the central nervous system is involved, the condition is referred to as neuro-Behçet's disease. In addition to classical neurological involvement, patients with Behçet's disease may present with complex neurobehavioural and mental disorders, which are termed neuro-psycho-Behçet's disease. We describe a rare case of a 28-year-old man presenting with acute psychosis as the initial presentation of neuro-Behçet's disease.
