Abstract: Neuro-Behcet’s disease (NBD) is defined as a combination of neurologic symptoms and/or signs in a patient with Behcet’s disease. A 38-year-old woman was admitted due to sensory aphasia. She had past medical history of generalized tonic-clonic seizure, retinal vasculitis, oral ulcer and cerebral vasculitis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed broad lesion in the left parieto-occipital lobe. Brain biopsy was performed to differentiate between central nervous system lymphoma and NBD. We report a rare case of NBD with extensive involvement of cerebral parenchyma.
