title: [NeuroBehcet disease with corpus callosum involvement].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Behçet's disease is a multi-system vascular-inflammatory disease with possible involvement of the central nervous system. Lesions of the corpus callosum on MRI have been rarely reported in this disease.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 47-year-old woman was admitted for a sudden right hemiplegia and confusion revealing a Behcet's disease. MRI showed a pedonculo-thalamic lesion and a white matter hypersignals, which was suggestive of the disease. Besides, involvement of the corpus callosum was observed.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This case demonstrates that Behcet's disease should be considered among diseases with corpus callosum involvement.
