Behcet’s disease presenting as recurrent ocular oral and scrotal lesions in a young man

Abstract

Behcets disease is a multisystem disorder which requires a careful constellation of symptoms for making a clinical diagnosis. We report a young man presented with reduced visual acuity to perception of light on left side with history of recurrent orogenial ulcers. Treatment with steroids azathioprine and colchicine helped in immediate recovery of mucocutaneous lesions with only a little improvement in vision. Recurrent posterior uveitis resulted in permanent visual loss.
