[Meningoencephalitis disclosing Behçet disease. Value of nuclear magnetic resonance imaging].
A meningoencephalitis Behçet's disease revealing is reported. Magnetic resonance imaging is more sensitive than computerized tomography in detecting encephalitic lesions. However, no specific pattern may be retained. This exploration is non invasive and can be used to monitor the evolution after treatment.
