Abstract

Neuro-Behçet's disease can present with various neurological manifestations resulting from
parenchymal or vascular involvement. Magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard for
diagnosis, showing lesions with an inflammatory pattern. The pseudotumoral form of neuro-
Behçet's disease, although rare, can appear as a large lesion mimicking a tumor.Early
recognition and prompt initiation of treatment are crucial in the pseudotumoral form to
prevent disease progression and improve outcomes. The neurological prognosis can be severe,
with recurrent episodes and the potential for disability. Here we presente à demonstrative case
of the pseudotumoral form of neuro-Behçet's disease in 30-yearold patient
