Behcet's disease is an immune-mediated systemic vasculitis that affects small blood vessels and it frequently presents with ulceration of the mucous membranes and eye symptoms. A 25 year-old male patient is presented with history of recurrent cold sores and genital folliculitis, erythema nodosum, papular-pustular lesions. For three months before submission to our service, this patient had clinical manifestations compatible with benign intracranial hypertension syndrome that fails favorable evolution with treatment. By skull venuos CTA, venous sinus cerebral thrombosis was identified. Clinical and radiological findings are compatible with Behcet's disease.

Palabras clave : Behçet's disease; cold sores; genital ulcers; uveitis; venous sinus thrombosis; folliculitis; erythema nodosum.
