(Derman Medical Publ, 2014) Sen, Halil Murat; Ozkan, Adile; Balci, Cagdas; Karaman, Handan Isin Ozisik
Globally Behcet's disease (BD) is most frequently seen in Turkey and takes its name from the Turkish dermatologist Hulusi Behbet. Basic findings of the disease are the triad of genital ulcers, oral ulcers and uveiti's. Neurological involvement in BD appears an average of 5 years after the beginning of disease, or the first appearance of the disease may be neurological findings. Sinus vein thrombosis (SVT) is among neurological involvements observed in BD. However diagnosis of SVT is difficult and it is a situation that may cause disability or mortality. Our case was a 24-year old female patient with diagnosed SVT who had a diagnosis of BD from 5 years. In spite of the patient frequently applying to health services, SVT diagnosis was delayed until 15 days after the initial symptoms. BD can cause SVT and SVT may cause disability or mortality but SVT may be diagnosed late, just as in our case. Therefore we present this case to increase awareness of this disease.
