This study aims to assess the executive functions and depression status in patients with Behçet's disease without explicit neurological involvement and to evaluate cognitive functions in this group of patients independent of accompanying depression. In the present study, 30 patients with Behçet's disease in the non-active phase of their illness and 30 healthy volunteers were included. In the evaluation of depression levels, Beck Depression Inventory was employed. The executive functions of the patients were evaluated by Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) and Stroop Test (ST). Beck Depression Inventory scores measured in the Behçet's disease group, in which no clinically serious depression was observed, were higher than the control group. Then, it was observed that the scores of neuropsychological tests of the Behçet's disease group were found to be significantly lower, especially in WCST, while significant relations were revealed between Beck Depression Inventory scores and WCST, ST scores. The authors' findings suggest that there may be factors other than depression causing executive impairment in patients with Behçet's disease without explicit neurological symptoms. Executive dysfunctions may occur in association with mild depressive states due to chronic disease stress or silent and/or future neurological involvement of Behçet's disease, especially in the frontal lobes.

İran'ın güneybatısı, Shiraz'daki Behçet hastalarında psikiyatrik belirti sıklığı Giriş: Behçet hastalığı (BH), ilk olarak 1937 yılında bir Türk Dermatoloğu olan Hulusi Behçet tarafından oral, genital ve oküler ülser üçlüsü ile tanımlanan karmaşık bir çoklu sistem sendromudur. Bu çalışmada BH'den muzdarip hastalarda bazı psikolojik belirtilerin varlığını araştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntem: Bu araştırma Haziran 2011-Ağustos 2011 tarihleri arasında İran'ın güneybatısında yer alan Shiraz Shahid Motahari Kliniği'nde takip edilen hastalararın arasından rastgele seçilmiş 101 BH hastasından oluşan bir örneklem üzerinde yapılan kesitsel bir çalışma idi. Tüm hastalar Belirti Tarama Listesi-90-Gözden Geçirilmiş (Symptom Checklist, SCL-90-R) ve yaş ve cinsiyet gibi bazı demografik bilgilerin yer aldığı formları tamamladı. Tüm istatistiksel analizler SPSS istatistik programı (v 17.0) kullanılarak yapıldı. Bulgular: Sonuçlara göre hastaların %30.7'si (GSI<0.7) sağlıklı iken diğerlerinin (%69.3) çeşitli seviyede belirtileri (GSI<0.7) mevcuttu. Psikiyatrik belirti alt ölçeklerinden somatizasyon (91.7%), anksiyete (78%) ve depresyon (77.78%) en sık belirtilerdi. Diğer yandan en nadir olan belirti ise korku (34.1%) idi. Çalışmamızın bulgularına göre kadın hastaların ortalama anksiyete sonuçları erkeklere göre anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p= 0.013). Sonuç: Psikolojik belirtilerinin sıklığı BH hastalarında dikkat çekiciydi. Bu nedenle hekimler, hastalarının hastalıkları sırasında gelişebilecek olası psikiyatrik bozuklukları saptayabilmek için onları takip etmelidirler.
