Gadolinium-enhanced MRI disclosed a lesion with ring enhanced areas with marked edema extending from the right basal ganglia and thalamus to the midbrain that appeared to be a brain abscess. The lesion resolved almost completely during the 2 month period after admission. Three weeks after discharge the patient again developed a high fever, and an MRI examination disclosed a large new lesion involving the left thalamus, brainstem and upper pons. No ring enhancement was detected by gadolinium-enhanced MRI, and the new lesion again spontaneously resolved almost completely, but during the second admission the patient also developed oral aphthae and skin eruptions suggesting Behcet's disease. This is a rare case suggesting that the lesions occurring in association with neuro-Behcet disease may resolve spontaneously., Acta medica Nagasakiensia. 2005, 50(1), p.35-38}, pages = {35--38}, title = {Neuro-Behcet Disease Mistakenly Diagnosed as a Brain Abscess Because of a Ring Contrast Enhanced Lesion on Brain MRI}, volume = {50}, year = {2005} }
