Summary

Behçet disease can cause spinal cord inflammation (meningo-myelitis), which is rare. Prompt steroid and immunosuppressive treatment led to significant recovery of neurological function in a patient.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Immunology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Behçet disease is a rare multisystem inflammatory disorder.
  • Neurological involvement, neuro-Behçet, affects 5-10% of patients.
  • Spinal cord involvement is an uncommon manifestation of neuro-Behçet.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with meningo-myelitis.
  • Spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was utilized to evaluate the extent of spinal cord involvement.
  • The patient's symptoms were attributed to Behçet disease.

Findings:

  • Isolated spinal cord involvement in Behçet disease is infrequent.
  • The patient experienced a dramatic improvement in neurological symptoms.
  • Treatment involved corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering Behçet disease in the differential diagnosis of meningo-myelitis.
  • Early diagnosis and aggressive immunosuppressive therapy, including steroids, can lead to favorable outcomes in spinal neuro-Behçet.
  • Spinal MRI is a valuable tool for assessing CNS involvement in Behçet disease.
