Behçet's syndrome and ocular involvement: changes over time

Clin Exp Rheumatol. 2020 Sep-Oct;38 Suppl 127(5):86-93. Epub 2020 Nov 18.

Abstract

Ocular involvement in Behçet's syndrome still represents a challenge for both rheumatologists and ophthalmologists; over the past 20 years the availability of new diagnostic tools and the concomitant introduction of biologic drugs led to a significant improvement in the management of these patients. The lack of uniform definitions and the diversity of the outcome measures still represent an obstacle for the prompt and correct management of ocular manifestations. The aim of the present review is to summarise the current evidences related to correct diagnosis and proper management of patients with Behçet's syndrome and ocular involvement.
