Auditory and vestibular function tests were conducted in 16 patients with Behcet's disease. Vestibular lesions included spontaneous nystagmus in 5 cases, and a bilateral vestibular syndrome after provoked tests in 13 cases (7 of the deficiency type and 6 irritative in nature). Findings after auditory tests were bilateral symmetric deafness in 2 cases; one of the perception type and the other showing mixed features. Various etiopathogenic theories are discussed. The possibility of a bilateral central lesion of the VIIIth nerve was also considered, 8 patients in the series having cerebral manifestations, particularly as the results of visual fixation tests in these cases were in favor of this hypothesis.

We report a case of a 53-year-old man with Behcet's disease (BD) and paradoxical stroke. This patient suddenly developed sensory aphasia, right oculomotor palsy, nystagmus, and left ataxic hemiparesis. MR images showed fresh embolic infarcts in the midbrain and the left parietotemporal lobe. He presented with uveitis, oral aphthous ulcers and genital ulcers. An electrocardiogram revealed no abnormalities, and a transesophageal echocardiogram disclosed a patent foramen ovale. Since venous involvement is common in BD, we suspected the presence of smaller thrombi probable in this patient. We conclude that embolic stroke is a notable complication of BD with right-to-left shunting.

A 22-year old female suffering from recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers, erythema nodosum, and folliculitis, was diagnosed as having Behcet's disease (BD). She has also hypopigmentation of skin and hair, and optic changes associated with albinism including hypopigmentation of the retina, nystagmus, strabismus, and reduced visual acuity. In this report, we discuss the possibility of precipitating factor in BD that the hypersensitivity, mental stress, and drug resistance which is caused by albinism.
