Pan Uveitis in a Patient Suspected of Multiple Sclerosis or Neuro-Behcet’s Syndrome: A Case Report

Journal of Ophthalmic and Optometric Sciences, Vol. 8 No. 1 (2024), 1 January 2024 , Page 40-44

Abstract

Purpose: To report a case of pan uveitis in a patient initially suspected of having multiple sclerosis and later diagnosed with neuro-Behçet’s syndrome.
Case Report: We present the case of a 35-year-old pregnant Iranian woman with a history of recurrent pan uveitis and sensory symptoms (Quadriparesis) who was initially treated based on a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Upon reevaluation of the clinical and paraclinical findings, the condition of the patient was reclassified as neuro-Behçet’s syndrome and treatment with corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents was initiated.
Conclusion: The visual and neurologic manifestations of neuro-Behçet’s syndrome can closely mimic those of multiple sclerosis, potentially leading to misdiagnosis. Accurate diagnosis in such cases is critical for achieving optimal treatment outcomes.
