[Meningoencephalitis in Behçet's disease--review and clinical-morphological case report].

The paper describes the neuropathological findings in the seven-year case history of a male patient who died at the age of 29 of Behçet's disease with initial iridocyclitis and neurological complications. In the author's opinion, the presence of any one of the three cardinal symptoms of the muco-cutaneo-ocular syndrome and its manifestation on the CNS is sufficient to suppose Behçet's disease. Affectation of the eye is a significant and usually the first symptom. The case history and the typical morphological findings give rise to the assumption of a special ophthalmomeningoencephalic variety of Behçet's disease.
