Özet
Pseudotumor cerebri is a rare condition of Behcet's disease. Enlargement of optic nerve sheath and increased subarachnoid fluid around the optic nerve are uncommon magnetic resonance (MR) findings of the patients with pseudotumor cerebri. To the best of our knowledge, these findings were not reported in pseudotumor cerebri due to Behcet's disease. Lumboperitoneal shunting surgery may be performed in cases which have visual symptoms and refractory to the medical treatment. In this paper, the relevant clinical and radiological findings were discussed, and a brief overview of therapeutic management was provided.
