Summary:Behcet's disease (BD) is a type of systematic chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that is characterized by the combination of recurrent oral aphthous, genital ulcers and uveitis. A damage of the nervous system is observed in 3-9% of patients, in which two variants of the course of the disease are possible: parenchymal in the form of immune-mediated meningoencephalitis, and non-parenchymal, which can be represented by venous sinus thrombosis, intracranial arterial aneurysms and intracranial hypertension. The article presents a clinical case of BD with a dominant nervous system damage in the clinical presentations of the disease.
