Abstract
Behçet's disease is a multi-systemic inflammatory pathology whose involvement of the central nervous system remains uncommon. It is characterized by white matter abnormalities like most inflammatory diseases. However, there are atypical forms such as the pseudo-tumor form which is rare. We report the case of a 43-year-old patient with a history of recurrent bipolar aphtosis with an episode of uveitis who presented with functional impotence of the right hemisphere with swallowing and speech disorders. The diagnostic approach led to the diagnosis of the pseudo-tumoral form of neuro-Behçet.
