| Core Tip |
Muscular involvement in Behçet’s disease (BD) has been rarely reported, along with the low incidence of peripheral neuropathy or myopathy in BD. Here, we present a rare case of BD with chronic, focal forms of neuromyopathy and review the relevant literature. To our knowledge, this is the first case of neurogenic muscular atrophy with a specific set of clinical, radiological, electrophysiological, and histological findings reported in BD. Two years after the presentation of the cardinal symptoms of BD, the patient presented with progressive muscular atrophy and weakness. This case highlights that despite the rare involvement of muscles, it should be considered, particularly in BD patients, that muscular symptoms with or without the cardinal symptoms of BD might be correlated with BD. |
