PurposeTo evaluate the fluorescein angiography and infrared autofluorescence finding in patients with confirmed Behcet׳s disease (BD) but without clinical ocular signs.MethodsIn this prospective, non-interventional case series, montage fluorescein angiography (MFA) and infrared autofluorescence imaging were performed for all patients with confirmed BD but without ocular signs in clinical examination.ResultsFifty BD patients (100 eyes) without clinical ocular manifestations were investigated. In MFA, we found fluorescein angiography (FA) leakage in 22 cases (44%) in both eyes, mostly at the periphery of retina. In infrared autofluorescence, profound changes were found in 43 patients, 86 eyes (86%). Twenty-five patients, 50 eyes (50%), presented retinal vascular branching modifications, straightening, tortuosity, and shunt.ConclusionMFA of retina may be useful in patients with presumed BD for early diagnosis, early treatment, and follow-up of patients.
