Isolated lesion of the cervical spine in a case of neuro-Behçet

Abstract

Behçet's disease is characterized by small vessel vasculitis and involvement of multiple systems. In neuro-Behçet cases, spinal cord involvement is approximately 10-18%. Spinal cord lesions are often associated with cerebral or brainstem lesions, and isolated spinal cord involvement in Behçet's disease is very rare. Here, we report a case with an isolated lesion of the cervical spine.
