dc.description.abstractBackground and Design: Central nervous system involvement is well known in patients with Behcet's disease but studies evaluating peripheral nervous system is not usual. The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency and characteristics of subclinical neuropathy in patients with Behcet's disease. Material and Method: Thirty three Behcet's disease patients (23 male, 10 women) with no evident neurological sign and symptom and 33 healthy volunteers were enrolled to the study. To exclude the other causes of peripheral neuropathy, some laboratory investigations were made. Electrophysiological studies of peripheral nerves were performed to all patients and healthy volunteers. The results were assessed according to the American Diabetes Association Diabetic Neuropathy Protocol. Results: Nerve conduction studies were abnormal in 11 of 33 patients (7 men, 4 women; 33.3%). Five patients (15%) had sensorymotor polyneuropathy, 4 (12%) has sural sensory polyneuropathy, 1 (3%) had median and tibial motor neuropathy. Sural nerve were unobtainable in 7 (21%) patients. 2 patients (6%) had prolonged F latency. Control group were normal electrophysiologically and the difference was statistically important (p < 0.0001). There was no correlation between peripheral neuropathy and gender (p=0.696). Conclusion: Despite the detailed neurological examination, subclinical peripheral neuropathy can be seen in patients with Behcet's disease. Electrophysiological studies are useful for the early detection of peripheral neuropathy in these patients. (Turkderm 2009; 43: 61-4)en_US
