Abstract
|
|
|
Behcet¡¯s disease is a systemic vasculitis that is characterized mainly by recurrent oral and genital aphthous ulcers, uveitis, and skin findings. Its neurological manifestations are well recognized. Recurrent meningitis in Behcet¡¯s disease is exceptional. We describe herein the case of a 31-year-old man who presented with recurrent aseptic meningitis without any specific cause. A few years later he developed oral and genital ulcers, and uveitis. Behcet¡¯s disease should always be considered in a differential diagnosis of recurrent aseptic meningitis without viral infection, particularly in the context of multisystem manifestations.
