Abstract:

Neuro-Behcet's disease (NBD) represents the involvement of the nervous system in patients with Behcet's disease (BD). The central nervous system manifestations of NBD are divided into parenchyma type and non-parenchyma type. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis(CVST) serves as main manifestation of NBD non-parenchymal type. CVST, a rare manifestation in BD patients, is usually complicated with cranial hypertension involving the headache, vomitin, and papilledema. BD mainly relies on clinical diagnosis due to the lack of specific diagnostic test. It is necessary to consider the occurrence of BD with CVST for young male patients suffering from persistent headache and increased intracranial pressure. A young male patient with CVST as the first manifestation is introduced, and the literature related to BD combined with CVST are reviewed.

Key words: sinus thrombosis, intracranial, Behcet syndrome
