Mass lesions of the brain are not always a tumor. We report the case of a patient followed for Behcet syndrome presenting with expansive intracranial process revealed by right hemiparesis associated with signs of intracranial hypertension. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a lesion suggesting glial tumor. Clinical and radiological assessments as well as laboratory tests helped to establish the diagnosis of pseudo-tumor form of neuro-Behcet disease. This study report is followed by a clinical analysis based on the available literature on this disorder.
