Behçet's disease is a multisystemic disease consisting of a varying combination of ocular, mucocutaneous, neurologic, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and other manifestations. Its diagnosis is based on clinical criteria, in which a positive pathergy test scores 1. A case series with 26 suspected patients is presented, and the skin pathergy test was performed in 23. The results were read in 48hours, and they were considered negative when without papule, and positive with a papule or pustule. Positive results were divided by papule size, and dermatoscopy was done to measure and observe its clinical aspects. After the readings, a biopsy was performed, with annotation of histopathological aspects. The test was negative in 2 (8.7%) and positive in 21 (91.3%) patients. The results and the literature review are presented.

Behçet's disease is a rare multisystemic vasculitis characterized by oral ulcers, genital ulcers, and skin and ocular lesions. Neuro-Behçet's syndrome is a condition in which individuals with Behçet's disease experience neurological symptoms that cannot be attributed to other neurological diseases. We present a rare case of neuro-Behçet's syndrome with acute internuclear ophthalmoplegia and deteriorating neurological function with a prior history of recurrent oral ulcers with pathergy-like features, acneiform papulopustular rash, retinal hemorrhages, and recurrent epididymitis without genital ulcers.
