There are many causes of pseudotumor cerebri. Cerebral venous thrombosis plays an important role. Behçet’s Disease is a systemic, vasculitic, infl ammatory disease. Behçet’s Disease is called neuro-Behçet when neurological involvement is present. The majority of the patients with neurological involvement present with raised intracranial pressure.
