We report on a 16-year old patient with a neuropathic bladder secondary to Behçet's disease, which is an uncommon vasculitis usually involving venules. The genitourinary manifestations of this disease are discussed, a neuropathic bladder being a rare complication of the involvement of the nervous system. Urodynamic assessment is important when voiding dysfunction is present; three patients previously reported revealed a bladder function changing from normal detrusor to overactivity. Our patient showed early and severe involvement of the nervous system, and detrusor areflexia two years after the onset of the disease. Spontaneous voiding was restored two months after urological management (intermittent catheterization) was started.
