Acute Transverse Myelitis at the Conus Medullaris Level After Rabies Vaccination in a Patient With Behcet's Disease

Abstract

Although neurologic involvement is one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity in Behçet's disease, the factors that aggravate the involvement of the nervous system are still unclear. Vaccination may have been the factor that had activated autoimmune mechanisms in this case. To our knowledge, involvement of the conus medullaris in Behçet's disease after rabies vaccination has not been reported.
