Neuro-Behcet’s Disease: A Case Report of a 19-Year-Old Male with Recurrent Aphthous Ulcers, Headache, and Neurological Deficit

Neuro-Behcet's disease (NBD) is a rare and challenging manifestation of Behcet's disease (BD) that involves the central nervous system (CNS), affecting less than 10% of BD patients. The clinical spectrum includes neurological deficits such as motor dysfunction, memory impairment, and personality changes, often presenting subacutely. Here, we report a case of a 19-year-old male presenting with recurrent aphthous ulcers, headache, irritability, and left-sided limb weakness. MRI findings revealed hyperintensities in the left corona radiata, bilateral basal ganglia, midbrain, and pons, characteristic of NBD. The patient's clinical and imaging findings were consistent with a diagnosis of Neuro-Behcet's disease.
