RESUMO
Axillary neuropathy due to entrapment of the nerve in the quadrilateral space is seen rarely. Here, we describe a 24-year-old patient diagnosed with isolated axillary neuropathy that mimicked quadrilateral space syndrome. Quadrilateral or quadrangular space syndrome [QSS], first described by Cahill and Palmer in 1983, was defined as the entrapment of the distal branch of the axillary nerve and the posterior humeral circumflex artery [PHCA] in the quadrangular shaped anatomic space. We tracked the follow up of the patient for one year both clinically and electrophysiologically. Our aim in reporting this case is to stress the point that cases of such a nature usually represent situations of diagnostic and treatment challenges, where multidisciplinary approaches are required

Behcet's disease is characterized by small vessel vasculitis and involvement of multiple systems. In neuro-Behet cases, spinal cord involvement is approximately 10-18%. Spinal cord lesions are often associated with cerebral or brainstem lesions, and isolated spinal cord involvement in Behet's disease is very rare. Here, we report a case with an isolated lesion of the cervical spine
