Overview

There are no MRI findings associated with Behçet disease. MRI findings of the brain may be normal even in the presence of neurologic involvement. However, a MRI may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of Behçet disease, which include enlargement of ventricles or subarachnoid spaces, and neurological lesions present in CNS involvement.
