Abstract A 25-year-old woman presented with ophthalmic and neurological manifestations. Her ocular manifestations included bilateral uveitis, multifocal retinal phlebitis, vitreitis and multiple retinal haemorrhages. Her neurological manifestations included migrainous headaches with visual aura, transient sensory symptoms and posterior circulation Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA). Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain demonstrated lesions that involved the deep white matter lesions initially and progressed to also involve the juxta cortical white and deep grey matter and brain stem, but without further neurological manifestations. She was sequentially treated with intravenous and oral glucocorticoid, cyclophosphamide and mycophenolate mofetil, but she continued to suffer with persistent episodes of retinal haemorrhages. Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL), Susac syndrome and Behcet’s disease were considered in the differential diagnosis. Genetic workup and clinical picture were not suggestive of the former two. Further history of oro-genital ulceration in younger age emerged, which pointed strongly towards a diagnosis of Behcet’s disease with neurological involvement. She was treated with infliximab and methotrexate with complete resolution of her symptoms and withdrawal of corticosteroids for the first time in over two decades.

Behcet's Disease

To investigate the clinical features of parenchymal neuro-Behcet’s disease (p-NBD), we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 1009 BD patients admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 2000 to 2016. Forty-two patients (25 males and 17 females) with p-NBD and eighty-four age- and sex-matched BD patients without neurological involvement who were served as controls were enrolled. Neurological onset was concomitant with the onset of BD in six cases (14.3%). Pyramidal signs (50.0%) and headache (33.3%) were the most common manifestations. On MRI, the lesions were mainly in the midline structures and hyperintense in the T2-weighted image. The most common lesion was the brainstem (54.8%). Spinal cord involvement was observed in five cases, four of which with cervical cord involvement. Multifocal lesions were observed in 13 patients. Ocular involvement was more prevalent in p-NBD (35.7%) (P=0.041, OR=2.36, 95% CI=1.03-5.44) compared with controls. All patients received corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, mainly cyclophosphamide (39/42). Six patients with severe/refractory condition received biological agents and achieved response measured by decreased Rankin score (P=0.002). With a median follow-up of 28 months, 22 patients (61.1%) achieved clinical improvements, while 10 (27.8%) relapsed and 4 died (mortality rate 11.1%). p-NBD is a rare yet disabling and life-threatening complication of BD. Ocular involvement is a risk factor for p-NBD. Promptly aggressive treatment is essential for improving prognosis, and biological agents might be a promising approach for severe/refractory p-NBD.
