Abstract
Behçet's disease is already famous with classical triad of recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers and uveitis. It is also known for its multisystemic involvement. However, an accidental detection of this disease is unusual. We will report here the story of a gentleman who had presented with urinary tract infection and was found to have underlying Behçet's disease for years. He had peripheral neuropathy as the only neurological manifestation without involvement of other neuro-axis as commonly seen in Neuro-Behçet's disease. He also lacked prominent systemic involvement. This incident underscores the necessity of careful clinical examination, keeping suspicion high for this disease especially for late presenters as we may miss and expose patients to unnecessary sufferings and even to risk of serious complications. This case also shows the importance of inter-departmental coordination while approaching unusual cases or common cases with unusual presentation.
