Behçet’s disease (BD) is a multisystemic inflammatory disorder of unknown
etiology. Neurologic involvement is known to be the most devastating feature
of BD. The frequency and types of neurologic involvement in the pediatric age
group are not clear, and the available information is limited to case reports.
Here, we report a BD patient who presented with urinary incontinence as
the initial feature of spinal cord involvement.
