A 53-year-old woman with recurrent stomatitis, genital ulcers, and folliculitis was admitted to our hospital after experiencing visual disturbances for the past two weeks, and a non-throbbing headache for the past three days. She had also developed numbness in her left extremities. An ophthalmological examination revealed inflammatory changes in the eye. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed increased cell counts, protein, and interleukin-6 levels. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple high signal intensities on T2-weighted (T2W)/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images of the pons and occipital and parietal lobes. The T2W/FLAIR high-signal-intensity lesion in the pons was hyperintense on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and hypointense on apparent diffusion coefficient mapping (ADC), suggesting cytotoxic edema. Another high-signal-intensity lesion on T2W/FLAIR was isointense to hyperintense on DWI and hyperintense on ADC, indicating vasogenic edema. The vasogenic edema in the left occipital lobe contained a small core that was hyperintense on DWI and hypointense on ADC, suggesting cytotoxic edema. The patient was diagnosed with acute neuro-Behçet's disease (neuro-BD) and responded well to high-dose glucocorticoid and colchicine treatment. The present report emphasizes that patients with acute neuro-BD may present with cytotoxic edema in the pons and cerebral spheres. Further reports of similar cases would contribute to a better understanding of the role of cytotoxic edema in the pathophysiology of neuro-BD and help elucidate the mechanisms underlying a unique presentation characterized by a central cytotoxic edema core within vasogenic edema.
