“…They did not find a significant difference in patients with Behçet's disease with or without uveitis. Our results agree with the published results of two previous studies (Ö zdemir et al 1995;Seçkin et al 1996). We also noted that there was no significant difference between groups in the PSV/EDV ratio, resistive and pulsatile indices for the three arteries.…”

“…Color Doppler imaging studies on ocular Behçet's disease are relatively new (Ö zdemir et al 1995;Seçkin et al 1996). Ö zdemir et al (1995) suggested that there was a significant impairment of peak systolic velocity and end-diastolic velocity of the CRA and PCA in patients with ocular Behçet's disease, when compared with a control group and patients with or without ocular involvement.…”

ABSTRACT.Purpose: The aim of this prospective study was to assess the ocular hemodynamic changes in patients with Behçet's disease who had involvement of the posterior segment by color Doppler ultrasonography. Methods: The present study was carried out in 32 eyes of 24 patients with ocular Behçet's disease and 42 eyes of 21 persons as a healthy age-matched control group. In order to detect the hemodynamic changes in ocular Behçet's disease, peak systolic and end-diastolic velocities (PSV, EDV; cm/sec), resistive and pulsatile indices (RI, PI), and PSV/EDV ratio of central retinal artery (CRA), short posterior ciliary artery (PCA) and ophthalmic artery (OA) were determined. Results: The mean PSV and EDV (8.1∫2.6 and 2.7∫0.1 cm/sec, respectively) in the CRA were significantly lower in patients with Behçet's disease than in healthy controls (11.5∫2.2 and 3.5∫1.0 cm/sec, respectively, p∞0.001). For the PCA, these values (12.7∫4.2 and 4.3∫1.1 cm/sec, respectively) were significantly lower in the patient group than in the control the group (18.2∫4.2 and 6.1∫2.5 cm/sec, respectively, p∞0.001). In the patient group, a statistically significant decrease compared to the control group was detected in the mean PSV of the OA (31.8∫8.2 and 35.8∫0.6 cm/sec, respectively, p∞0.02). However, no significant difference in the other parameters of these vessels was observed between groups.Conclusions: These results demonstrate the presence of some circulatory changes in the flow velocities of the CRA, PCA and OA in patients with Behçet's disease when compared with control subjects.

“…Many studies show that the PSV and EDV of TPCA were found to be lower in ocular BD patients than in the normal control group and non-ocular BD patients. 21,22 In addition, increased TPCA PI values have been reported in ocular BD patients compared with the control group. 23,26 These findings (EDV and PSV reduction and PI increase in TPCA) indicate that choroidal circulation is also involved by vasculitis, which is difficult to detect clinically.…”

“…20 Celebi et al and Ozdemir et al showed that the PSV and EDV in the CRA of ocular BD patients were lower than that of non-ocular BD patients and the control group. 20,21 Duranoglu et al and Caca et al report that non-ocular BD patients' PSV and EDV in the CRA were lower and their RI was higher than control group. 23,27 In our study, when active ocular BD was compared with non-ocular BD with and without thrombosis, the CRA's PSV and EDV values were lower and the RI and PI were higher in active ocular BD patients.…”

“…6 There are several studies conducted to examine the orbital haemodynamic changes in BD. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] In these studies, reduction in orbital blood flow and increase in RI were reported in BD patients and the most common finding was the reduction in the CRA blood flow compared with the normal subjects. 20,23,28 Reduction in OA and TPCA blood flows have also been found in BD patients.…”

In this study, the authors aimed to evaluate ocular blood flow changes in Behçet disease (BD) with and without thrombotic disease. Ninety eyes of 90 patients with a diagnosis of BD (30 eyes with active uveitis, 23 eyes with inactive uveitis, 25 eyes without ocular involvement, and 12 eyes without ocular involvement and with a history of thrombosis) and 30 eyes of 30 age-and sex-matched control patients without any systemic disease with a total of 120 eyes were evaluated. In all cases, ophthalmic, central retinal, and ciliary artery flow parameters were measured with colour Doppler ultrasonography (CDU). The ocular blood flow parameters of all vessels in patients with active uveitis were found to be affected. All the flow parameters in the CRAs of the study groups were significantly different from the control group (p50.001). Additionally, in non-ocular BD patients with thrombosis, blood flow parameters were affected more than the parameters in non-ocular BD patients without thrombosis and control patients. In conclusion, major haemodynamic changes were observed using CDU in the ophthalmic vessels of ocular Behçet patients. Also, CDU may detect ocular blood flow alterations before initial ocular clinical manifestations appear in BD patients
