Sahar Saleem MD, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

1.To identify neuro-behcet’s disease (NBD) as a preferential target of Behcet's disease and recognize its vascular and parenchymal sub-types. 2. To review the latest international consensus of the diagnostic criteria of NBD: 3. To discuss the role of MRI (particularly special sequences) in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of NBD

1. Review the pathophysiology, classification, clinical presentations & mimics of NBD 2. Discuss the latest international consensus criteria for clinical, laboratory, and imaging diagnosis of NBD. 3. Discuss the specificity of the used imaging modalities in diagnosis and follow up of vascular and parenchymal NBD (CT,  MRI, conventional angiography, venography) 3. Discuss the common MRI findings in NBD using conventional sequences and the role of advanced sequences such as Diffusion Tensor Imaging, Susceptibility imaging, 3D-FFE, MRA, MRV, and MR spectroscopy 4. Discuss the differential diagnosis and mimics of NBD including Multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus vasculitis, primary CNS vasculitis, and others 5. Future directions
