Neurological pseudo tumoral presentation is rare. We report a case of pseudo tumoral neuro-Behcet disease in a 38-year-old man, with past history of facial and dorsal folliculitis, who presented suddenly headache, right hemiplegia, aphasia and disturbed consciousness. Neuroradiological investigations showed a pseudo tumoral lesion in the left capsulo-thalamic region extending to the homolateral peduncle. The patient improved with steroid and immunosuppresseur therapy. CONCLUSION: The clinical and radiological presentation of neuro-Behcet's disease can mimic a brain tumor. Langue : FRANCAIS |
