Abstract

Neuro-Behcet's disease (NBD) is a rare neurological manifestation of the systemic small vessel vasculitis called Behcet's disease. It can present in various ways with predilection for the brain stem, thalamo- hypothalamic regions, cerebellum and basal ganglia. In this case, we describe a case of young stroke that was later attributed to NBD.
