A Case of Neuro-Behcet with Dizziness
Osamu Shibasaki
(Ibaraki Seinan Medical Center Hospital)
A 51-year-old woman complained of nausea, headache and dizziness with nystagmus. She had presented with recurrent oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers and erythematous lesion, except for eye lesion, and was diagnosed as incomplete Behcet's disease in another hospital. Headache and dizziness were first suspected as cerebellum infarction, but MRI of the brain and cerebrospinal fluid analysis revealed Neuro-Behcet. When patients with Behcet's disease visit otolaryngology clinics for oral lesions, we should be sensitive to minor symptoms of Behcet's disease.
Key words : Neuro-Behcet, dizziness, incomplete Behcet, MRI
