Introduction:
Prevalence of neurological involvement in Behçet's disease (BD) varies between studies and is associated with high morbimortality. Neurological involvement is classified as parenchymal and non-parenchymal involvement (vascular involvement). Treatment of neurological involvement consists of immunosuppressants. Evidence regarding presentation and outcomes in neuro-Behçet's (NB) is scarce.
Methods:
Observational retrospective study that included consecutive patients diagnosed with BD between 2006 and 2019 in a tertiary hospital of Madrid.
Results:
Fifty-seven patients were included with a mean follow-up of 7.83 (±6.98) years. The mean age at diagnosis of BD and first NB episode was 34.7 (± 12.1) and 31.03 (±9.9) years, respectively. Fifty-six NB episodes were registered in 25 patients. Fever (OR 3.39, CI 95% 1.14-10.15) and pseudofolliculitis (OR 4.06, CI 95% 1.11-14.80) were associated to NB. Trigeminal neuralgia was found in 16% (4/25) of patients.
Conclusion:
The prevalence of NB in patients with BD was higher than previously described. Fever and pseudofolliculitis were more frequently associated with NB, with low mortality during follow-up.

Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
