A Rare Presentation of Neuro-Behcet's Disease (NBD) (P4.062)

CONCLUSIONS: We present a rare manifestation of BD in which our patient had rapidly progressive spinal cord lesions. High dose steroids are the initial choice in management, but the optimal management for chronic NBD has yet to be determined. Immunosuppresion is thought to be the best treatment guided by the severity of systemic symptoms. Spinal involvement has a less favorable response to therapy, highlighting the importance of early recognition and aggressive treatment.Disclosure: Dr. Harris has nothing to disclose.
