We found 7 FMF patients with demyelinating lesions, 7 with cerebrovascular disease, and 4 with PRES. The mean interval between first FMF sign and neurologic involvement was 13.7 + or - 8.9 years in the demyelinating group, and 23.4 + or - 10.3 years in the group with cerebrovascular disease. Mean stroke age was 28.5 + or - 16.4 years. All patients in the PRES group had hypertension. Three different neurologic conditions in FMF patients were noticeable. Demyelinating lesions and cerebrovascular disease were the most common clinical presentations. Approximately 70% of patients had the homozygote M694V mutation. Neurologic involvement is rare but serious in FMF. |
