Özet
Behcet's disease (BD) is a rare systemic vasculitis disorder of unknown etiology characterized by recurrent oral and genital apthae and uveitis. It involves the central or peripheral nervous system; occurs rarely during childhood. Isolated acute aseptic meningitis is extremely uncommon. We report here a case of Neuro-Behcetdisease (NBD) diagnosed in a 14-year-old girl. The patient presented acute headache, diplopia, papilla edema,and meningeal irritation. She had a history of recurrent oral ulcers. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed pachymeningitis. Pleocytosis and pressure increase were the cerbrospinal fluid findings. Although medical therapy, her complanits were not resolved. Uveitis was not detected, pathergy test was negative. unusual NBD. The patient improved dramatically after steroid meningitis unless an infectious agent is demonstrated. To our knowledge, a case of pachymeningitis with NBD, was not described in children.
