Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Otolaryngology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Behçet's syndrome is a multisystemic inflammatory disorder with diverse clinical manifestations.
  • Neuro-otological involvement is recognized but often underdiagnosed in Behçet's syndrome.
  • Early detection of audiovestibular dysfunction can aid in diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of neuro-otological findings in patients with Behçet's syndrome.
  • To assess the diagnostic utility of audiovestibular abnormalities in Behçet's syndrome.

Main Methods:

  • Neuro-otological examination including auditory and vestibular function tests.
  • Inclusion of 26 consecutive patients with definite or probable Behçet's syndrome.
  • Unselected patient cohort for audiovestibular complaints.

Main Results:

  • Auditory and/or vestibular abnormalities detected in 73% of patients.
  • Peripheral lesions were more frequent than central lesions for both auditory (54%) and vestibular (38.5%) systems.
  • Bilateral cochlear hearing impairment and unilateral peripheral vestibular dysfunction were most common.

Conclusions:

  • Neuro-otological assessment reveals significant labyrinthine involvement in a substantial proportion of Behçet's syndrome patients.
  • Audiovestibular lesions may serve as valuable diagnostic markers in the absence of specific diagnostic tests for Behçet's syndrome.
