Abstract

Behcet’s disease is a chronic multisystem vasculitis that presented with several manifestations. Episcleritis is a benign inflammation of the episcleral tissue and is rarely reported in Behcet’s disease. We reported an 11-year-old girl who was admitted due to pain and swelling around the left eye with initial diagnosis of preseptal cellulitis. The patient had a history of recurrent oral aphthous ulcers and genital ulcers. Episcleritis and posterior uveitis were reported in ophthalmic examination and ultrasonography. Pathergy skin test and human leukocyte antigens (HLA) B5 and HLA-B51 were positive, consistent with the diagnosis of Behcet’s disease. This case report emphasizes that various pathological causes may cause episcleritis and uveitis in children, one of which is rheumatic diseases, that should always be considered. © The Author(s) 2023.
