The paroxysmal attacks which are frequently encountered in the course of multiple sclerosis (MS) are characterised by their sudden onset, short duration and frequent repetition. Such attacks have also been reported in some other diseases affecting the CNS, such as systemic lupus erythematosus. However, to our knowledge, they have not been reported in neuro-Behçet's disease (NBD). A patient with NBD who developed paroxysmal dysarthriaataxia attacks is presented, and the similarity of some clinical, laboratory, and neuroradiological aspects of NBD and MS are discussed with special emphasis on magnetic resonance imaging findings.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea causes the loss of CSF, resulting in a decrease in intracranial pressure and a lack of CSF protection in brain tissue. CSF rhinorrhea may cause impairment of posterior cranial nerves resulting in facial paralysis and vertigo. However, dysarthria caused by involvement of glossopharyngeal nerves and vagus nerves has seldom been reported.

Familial paroxysmal non-kinesigenic dyskinesia, which is a major form of paroxysmal dyskinesias, is characterized by intermittent attacks that include one side, subsequently spreading to the other side, involving the limbs and face, and is triggered by caffeine, alcohol, emotional stress, fatigue, and sleep deprivation, but not by sudden movement. A 26-year-old man had experienced dystonic movements and a choreiform right arm spreading to his arms, legs, and face since the age of one year. Oral dyskinesias and, rarely, dysarthria were also observed.
