Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Behcet’s disease is an autoimmune disease characterised by recurrent orogenital ulcers and neurological disease, ocular disease, thrombosis, arthritis etc. Classically diagnosed using pathergy test even though a majority of the cases do not exhibit the same. In routine clinical practice the International criteria for Behcet’s developed by the International study group for Behcet’s is used. Despite the diversity in presentations in Behcet’s, it is rare to see multiple systemic manifestations in a single patient. Here we present a case with Behcet’s meningitis, dural sinus thrombosis, posterior uveitis, recurrent orogenital ulcers and a positive pathergy test all of which are cardinal features of Behcet’s that make 6 out of all 7 features considered in the International criteria.
