Abstract:
Parenchymal neuro-Behçet disease (NBD) is a serious clinic condition with a sub-acute or chronic disease course that results in incapability through pyramidal tract involvement. Though well-known consequences can deter a patient's life, both urinary symptoms and sexual dysfunction are underestimated complications of NBD and closely related in timing.

We discuss clinical features, prognosis and treatment of the case. A review of English literature was conducted for cases of concurrent urinary or sexual dysfunction complicating parenchymal-NBD.
