TORRES, RM; YANEZ, B; HERRERAS, JM  e  CALONGE, M. Ocular Behçet disease: Retrospective study. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2004, vol.79, n.12, pp.599-604. ISSN 0365-6691.

Objective: To study clinical features, visual prognosis and response to immunosuppressive drugs in patients with ocular Behçet Disease (BD). Patients and methods: clinical data of 17 patients (33 eyes) were retrospectively reviewed from May 1996 to May 2003. Results: The male/female ratio was 12/5. The commonest manifestations were oral ulceration (100%) and skin lesions (88%). Anterior uveitis was present in 59%, posterior uveitis was in 76% and panuveitis was in 88.1%. Visual acuity improved in 11 (33.3%) eyes, remind stable in 18 (54.5%) eyes and four (12.1%) eyes lost two or more lines. Main drug therapy consisted of colchicine and cyclosporine (59%). Seven patients had received three drugs simultaneously. Conclusions: BD can lead to an irreversible visual loss; however, the visual prognosis is good (85%) if immunosuppressor treatment is implemented.

Palavras-chave : Uveitis; Behçet’s disease; immunosuppressors; treatment.
