Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the fluorescein angiography and infrared autofluorescence finding in patients with confirmed Behcet's disease (BD) but without clinical ocular signs. Methods: In this prospective, non-interventional case series, montage fluorescein angiography (MFA) and infrared autofluorescence imaging were performed for all patients with confirmed BD but without ocular signs in clinical examination. Results: Fifty BD patients (100 eyes) without clinical ocular manifestations were investigated. In MFA, we found fluorescein angiography (FA) leakage in 22 cases (44%) in both eyes, mostly at the periphery of retina. In infrared autofluorescence, profound changes were found in 43 patients, 86 eyes (86%). Twenty-five patients, 50 eyes (50%), presented retinal vascular branching modifications, straightening, tortuosity, and shunt. Conclusion: MFA of retina may be useful in patients with presumed BD for early diagnosis, early treatment, and follow-up of patients. © 2015 .
