Behçet's disease is a chronic inflammatory, multisystem vasculitis. Neurological involvement is one of the most serious manifestations of Behçet's disease. Although brain stem and diencephelon are the most affected areas in neuro-Behçet's disease, spinal cord involvement are rarely seen. We report a case of paraplegia caused by completely thoracic cord involvement of Behçet's disease in a 20-year-old woman.
白塞病是一种慢性炎症性多系统血管炎。神经系统受累是白塞病最严重的表现之一。虽然脑干和间脑是神经白塞病中最常受累的部位,但脊髓受累很少见。我们报告一例20岁女性因白塞病完全累及胸段脊髓导致截瘫的病例。
