Manifestations and predictors of neurologic involvement in Behçet's disease
In summary, our cohort showed a 15% prevalence of CNS involvement, with parenchymal affection being the predominant form. Genital ulcers at onset and ocular manifestations emerged as independent predictors of NBD, serving as potential clinical markers for identifying high-risk patients. The high mortality rate observed among these patients underscores the severity of NBD and the critical need for prompt recognition.
