Abstract

Muscular involvement in Behcet's disease is rare manifestation in spite of basic characteristic that is vasculitis can invade multi-organ of the entire body. A few cases has been announced involving the lower extremities, the arm and generalized weakness. Like our case, myositis involving the masticatory muscles with clinically diagnosed Behcet's disease was presented with the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the clinical findings, which is, not yet documented in the literature.
