        <p>Introduction</p>
        <p>Behcet’s disease is a chronic, multisystem inflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent oro-genital ulceration, ophthalmologic, neurologic, or dermatologic manifestation. There is no pathognomonic laboratory test available therefore the diagnosis can be challenging, especially in patients with limited clinical features. Nervous system involvement termed as Neuro-Behcet’s is a relatively rare occurrence. It is sub-classified into two major forms i.e. parenchymal and non-parenchymal. Here we describe a case of Neuro-Behcet’s in a young woman with a rather bizarre presentation</p>
