Movement disorders in neuro-Behçet's disease were strongly linked to brainstem involvement.

Background

Neuro-Behçet's disease (NBD) is a severe neurological manifestation of Behçet's disease.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective chart and neuroimaging review of NBD patients evaluated at a tertiary care referral centre in India between January 2021 and October 2025.

n = 9 patients
Results

in all with brainstem damage vs 1 in 4 without, had movement problems

With brainstem involve
100%
Without brainstem invo
25%
More results

Neurological-onset disease occurred in 9 patients (75.0%).

Ten patients (83.3%) had probable NBD, and two (16.7%) had definite NBD.

Parenchymal disease predominated (9, 75%), with brainstem involvement in 9 patients (75%).

More results

Cerebrospinal fluid (cerebrospinal fluid) showed inflammatory changes, with cerebrospinal fluid-restricted oligoclonal bands detected in one patient (8.3%).

“
Conclusion

NBD in this Indian cohort closely mirrored global disease patterns. Movement disorders, particularly ataxia, are frequent and strongly associated with brainstem involvement, highlighting an under-recognized dimension of parenchymal NBD.
