Central nervous system involvement in Behçet disease (BD) may be either parenchymal or nonparenchymal. Abnormal cerebrospinal fluid findings and parenchymal involvement are associated with a poorer prognosis. A self-antigenic role for HLA B51 has been postulated in the pathogenesis of BD. The sibling occurrence rate is 3.6%. Familial aggregation may be more pronounced among pediatric cases comp...
