Central nervous system vasculitis in Behçet's syndrome: angiographic improvement after therapy with cytotoxic agents

Abstract

We describe a patient with Behçet's syndrome who had clinical and angiographic features of widespread cerebral angiitis of small- and medium-caliber vessels. We report the successful treatment of this condition with a combination of cytotoxic agents and steroids, and demonstrate angiographically the resolution of these abnormalities in neuro-Behçet's disease.
