title: Neurological symptoms and signs in Behçet disease: a Western Turkey experience.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the clinical patterns of neurologic involvement and the frequencies and characteristics of different types of headaches in patients with Behçet disease.
  
  
  METHODS
  Total 530 patients with Behçet disease were evaluated for the presence of neurologic involvement and/or headache.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Of the 54 patients (10.2%) with neurological involvement, 36 (66.7%) had parenchymal and 16 (29%) had vascular involvement. There was a patient with optic neuropathy and another patient with peripheral nerve involvement. There were 46 patients (8.7%) with headache without any evidence of neurological involvement and 25 of them (4.7%) were diagnosed with migraine.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The prevalence of neurologic involvement in our group was higher than the studies published previously from the same country. Migraine prevalence on the other hand was low.
