Abstract

Neuro-Behcet’s disease (NBD) is a rare disease with variable neurological features including silent progressive neurological involvement. The prompt and accurate diagnosis of NBD remains a clinical challenge as not all neurological features are due to NBD. Due to this, diagnosing NBD is a clinical dilemma encountered in clinical practice.

A twenty-five-year-old Bahraini male presented with symptoms of headache, diplopia, left partial ptosis and increased somnolence. The headache was progressive, severe. The initial CT brain was normal. MRI brain revealed changes consistent of neuro-behcet’s disease.
