The frequency of neurologic manifestations in Behçet's disease (BD) ranges between 5% and 15% [1]. Central nervous system manifestations are represented by parenchymal involvement, which includes brainstem involvement, hemispheric manifestations, spinal cord lesions, and meningo-encephalitic presentations and non parenchymal involvement, including dural sinus thrombosis, arterial occlusion, and/or aneurysms. The association of parenchymal and vascular manifestations is extremely rare [2]. Among the neuro-vasculo-Behçet's disease patients, venous thrombosis is well-known while arterial involvement has rarely been reported and seldom concerned cerebral arteries.
