Cerebral venous thrombosis is a serious neurological complication that can occur in Behçet's syndrome and requires a specific, structured management approach distinct from general Behçet's disease care.
Clinical scenario: Behçet's syndrome presenting with a first episode of cerebral venous thrombosis — a complication that demands prompt, targeted intervention guided by evidence-based recommendations.
Management of this first episode centres on a glucocorticoid-based regimen, initiated at an appropriate intensity and adjusted over time. Depending on the clinical course, an additional agent may be considered for a limited period. The full sequenced protocol — including the complete approach, decision points, and supporting evidence — is available via the link below.
