Abstract
Neuro-Behçet’s disease (NBD) is defined as the primary neurological involvement seen in patients with Behçet's disease (BD). It can be classified as parenchymal or non-parenchymal involvement, with variable manifestation that can be confused with other neuroinflammatory conditions of the nervous system. Papillitis is an inflammation of the optic disk that most often manifests itself with a papilledema. This condition seems to be exceptional during BD, especially as an initial presentation. We report the observation of a neuro-Behçet in a 30-year-old woman who presented with an isolated bilateral papillary edema.
