Conjunctival Microvascular Abnormalities in Two Cases with Behcet’s Disease

Abstract

Purpose: To report the conjunctival microvascular abnormalities as the only ocular manifestation of two patients with Behcet’s disease.

Method: Reporting two patients with Behcet’s disease presenting conjunctival vascular lesions associated with subconjunctival hemorrhage.

Results: The vascular lesions responded rapidly to treatment with topical steroids.

Conclusions: Microvascular involvement in Behcet’s disease might also occur at unusual sites such as bulbar conjunctiva.
