We treated 123 patients with behcet's disease during a period of 10 ye
ars (1984-1993). The ocular lesions include uveal lesions especially t
he posterior lesions and vascular retinal. Uveitis was total in 72% of
cases. Periphlebitis occurred in 51% of cases, vein occlusion in 10%
of cases, macular oedema in 16% and papillary oedema in 10%. Clinical
course and prognosis were studied. The functional prognosis is poor as
such lesions may lead to blindness, particularly due to papillary oed
ema maculopathy. The treatment used is based on immunosuppressive and
corticoid steroid drugs.
