Abstract

Five cases of Behcet's disease with pseudo-tumor cerebri are reported and discussed. The authors put the emphasis on three main points : - this morbid association is not rare; - it explains the hypothesis suggested that pseudo-tumor cerebri is secondary to the alteration of intracranial venous system and CSF resorption disturbance; - the visual prognosis is poor in this entity.
