title: Pseudotumoral Behçet's disease.
abstract: Behçet's disease is a systemic vasculitis characterized by the presence of oral and genital ulcers. Neurological involvement or neuro-Behçet is an uncommon manifestation. It manifestation has predominance in the male gender appearing 2 to 4 years after the first clinical manifestation. However, neuro-Behçet disease sometimes occurs with pseudotumoral brain lesions. Herein, we present the cases of two patients diagnosed with neuro-Behçet after detection of pseudotumoral brain lesions. A review of the literature is performed.
