Abstract

This case report describes a 33-year-old patient with Behçet’s disease who presented with chronic delusions and hostility. Despite receiving immunosuppressive treatment for Behçet’s disease, the patient exhibited unsystematized delusions, disorganized speech, and intense psychic dissociation. Neurological examination and MRI showed no abnormalities, suggesting a psychiatric etiology. Treatment with risperidone and lorazepam led to partial improvement in psychiatric symptoms. The case raises the possibility of schizophrenia co-occurring with Behçet’s disease, although psychosis is rare in this condition. Further research is needed to understand the relationship between psychiatric and neurological manifestations of Behçet’s disease.
