The etiology of epilepsy is associated with many exogenous and endogenous factors. One of the rare diseases, the pathophysiological mechanisms of which, affecting the nervous system, can guide the development of epilepsy, more often its symptomatic focal form, is Behcet's disease. Currently, the diagnosis is carried out based on the criteria developed by the International Study Group for Behcet's Disease (ISGBD). In Azerbaijan, 12.8% of cases were detected. The article presents a clinical case of epilepsy in a patient with Behcet's disease, which was identified during the period of the study conducted for the purpose of clinical and epidemiological study of epilepsy in one of the large settlements of Baku, in Mashtagi. Behcet's disease should be studied carefully. Perhaps, the results of further research will shed light on an urgent problem in epileptology, proving whether there is a connection between the development of epilepsy and ethnocultural characteristics of different populations.
