Abstract
Behcet's disease is a rare autoimmune disease. Its clinical characters are recurrent oral ulcers, genital ulcers, uveitis and skin lesions such as erythema nodosum. According to the literature, the rate of inner ear involvement is as high as 30%. In 1995, we experienced one case of Behcet's disease with inner ear involvement presenting as unilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Bilateral hearing deterioration were noted in the following one and a half years despite treatment.
