【 摘 要 】

We describe a case of neuro-Behçet disease diagnosed in a 12-year-old girl. This patientpresented with recurrent oral ulcers, incontinence, spastic gait, blurry vision, andasymmetrical lower extremity hypertonia. Extensive testing revealed punctate lesionsthrough the central nervous system, vitritis, papillitis, and uveitis. A thoroughinfectious and neoplastic workup was negative. She was treated with pulse steroids andazathioprine with gradual improvement in her gait and ophthalmologic findings. Althoughrare, primary neuro-Behçet should be considered in pediatric patients with neurologicabnormalities and recurrent aphthous ulcers without other explanation.
