베체트병에서 말초 신경계 침범은 아주 드물게 보고되었다. 저자들은 베체트병 환자에서 갑작스러운 근육 위약감이 발생하여 진행하는 증상과 신경전도검사에서 확인된 길랑-바레 증후군을 진단하였고, 약물 치료 후 증상이 호전됨을 경험하여 문헌으로 보고하는 바이다. Behcet’s disease (BD) is a multi-systemic inflammatory disease of unknown origin that affects nearly all organs including the nervous system. Although the neurological involvement is less frequent than other major presentations, it is important because it can produce severe disabilities. Peripheral nervous system manifestations are relatively rare in BD. Although few cases of peripheral neuropathy or myopathy have been reported in BD, they are cases of multiple neuropathies, sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy, or neuropathy autonomic dysfunction. Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS), also known as an acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, is an acute demyelinating polyradiculopathy of uncertain etiology. No case of GBS associated with BD in Korea has been reported. Herein we report on a patient of BD who suffered from weakness of extremities and was diagnosed as GBS. (J Rheum Dis 2015;22:246-249)
