Abstract

Behcet syndrom is a chronic systemic disease developing recurrent oral and genital ulceration, ocular inflammation, arthritis and neurological manifestations. Anterior uveitis and occlusive retinal vasculitis are the most commom ocular manifestation of Behcet syndrome. A 29 years old Korean male with abducens palsy (6th cranial nerve palsy) was found to have oral aphthae, genital ulcer, skin lesion and other neurological manifestations (weakness and sensory loss of lower extremeties, ataxic gait, speech disturbance and urinary difficulty), but he had neither ocular manifestation such as uveitis nor retinal vasculitis.
