Abstract

Behçet's disease is a kind of variable vessel vasculitis (VVV) and inflammatory systematic disease affecting various organs of the body. The cause of the disease is idiopathic but is most commonly genetic in origin. A positive skin prick test (dermatographia), genital sores, eye irritation, skin sores, and at least three episodes of mouth sores in a year confirm the diagnosis. Treatment may include immunosuppressive agents, immune modulators, and biological markers such as corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and antibodies. We report a case of a 23-year-old male patient, presented in an outpatient clinic in a tertiary care eye hospital located in Pakistan. The patient reported sudden loss of vision in one eye and graduate loss of vision in the other eye. Ocular and systemic investigations were performed to correlate with clinical findings to reach a diagnosis. The patient was managed symptomatically and was put on corticosteroids. Our hospital is a research and postgraduate educational institution that deals with complex eye diseases. The range of investigations and clinical exams helped clinical decision-makers in evaluating the patient's diagnosis.
