[Imaging of neuro-behcet]

Behcet's disease is a vasculitis affecting predominantly the venous system. It's characterized by a classical triad of recurrent uveitis, oral and genital ulceration. Behcet's disease is more frequent in Japan. the Middle East and some Mediterranean countries. Its pathogenesis is still uncertain. Neurological manifestations in Behcet's disease are not rare and are associated with poor prognosis. These manifestations can be inaugural in 5% of cases and they are polymorphous. We report 15 new cases of neuro Behcet's disease explored by magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] and magnetic resonance angiography [MRA]

Arthropathie de Jaccoud et chondrocalcinose articulaire: Une association rare

Jaccoud's arthropathy [JA] is a chronic deformity affecting hands and feet, which are voluntarily correctable by the patients. JA was usually reported in assocation with rheumatic fiver and systemic lupus erythematosus. We describe an exceptional association between a pyrophosphate arthropathy and JA of the hands. It is a 48 year old woman, having a 13 years history of polyarthritis involving shoulders, elbows, hips and knees, and 4 years after, a progressive under deviation of the fingers of the hands. Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals were identified in the synovial knee biopsy. Hands xrays as RMI don't identify erosions and confirmed the JA
