Abstract

Behçet’s uveitis is a severe ocular manifestation of Behçet’s disease, a chronic, relapsing multisystem vasculitis. It typically presents as bilateral, recurrent, non-granulomatous panuveitis with occlusive retinal vasculitis involving both arteries and veins. Common ocular signs include hypopyon, hemorrhages, vitritis and retinal infiltrates. The underlying pathogenesis involves immune dysregulation in genetically predisposed individuals, often associated with HLA-B51.
