Abstract

Behçet disease is a chronic systemic relapsing vasculitis. Ocular clinical signs in Behçet disease usually include signs of inflammation in the uvea, vitreous and retina. This report describes a rare case of a full-blown systemic exacerbation of Behçet disease with ocular involvement including conjunctival ulceration with the absence of uveal or retinal involvement.
