Behçet's disease (BD) is a multisystemic vasculitis disorder. Neuro-Behçet's disease (NBD) is a set of neurologic symptoms imputable to an underlying Behçet vasculitis. Among the wide range of vascular abnormalities secondary to BD, a dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) is not classically described. Whether a dAVF is associated with BD or dAVF is a chance occurrence is still a matter of debate. Herein, we describe an NBD case of a 48-year-old male, presenting with headache and fever, where a dAVF was seen on imaging. He was treated with prednisolone and colchicine, followed by the surgical resection for dAVF. Then, we discuss the possible association between BD and dAVF based on the latest literature.
