Behçet's disease can cause brain inflammation without vasculitis, presenting as neurological deficits mimicking multiple sclerosis. This case highlights acute neutrophilic inflammation as a potential cause of lesions in neuro-Behçet's disease.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Pathology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Behçet's disease is a multisystem inflammatory disorder.
  • Neuro-Behçet's disease typically involves vasculitis leading to neurological deficits.
  • This case presents an atypical form of Behçet's disease.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with fluctuating neurological deficits.
  • Neuroradiologic findings were suggestive of multiple sclerosis.
  • Neuropathological examination revealed acute, disseminated encephalitis.

Findings:

  • The encephalitis showed neutrophilic and eosinophilic infiltration without vasculitis, fibrinoid necrosis, or thrombosis.
  • Microbial and viral (EBV, HSVI, CMV) investigations were negative.
  • Lesions were characterized by primary acute neutrophilic inflammation.

Implications:

  • Necrotizing lesions in neuro-Behçet's disease may arise from primary neutrophilic inflammation, not solely vasculitis.
  • This finding expands the understanding of the pathogenesis of neuro-Behçet's disease.
  • Highlights the importance of considering non-vasculitic inflammatory mechanisms in neurological presentations of Behçet's disease.
