Branch retinal artery occlusion associated with Behçet disease.

PURPOSE: To report 2 cases of branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) associated with Behçet disease (BD).

DESIGN

Small case series.

METHODS

Review of two patients' charts, fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography (OCT).

RESULTS

The authors report two young patients, diagnosed with BD, who developed decreased vision secondary to BRAO for the first patient and cilioretinal artery occlusion associated with branch retinal vein occlusion for the second patient. In the two cases, artery occlusion was associated with active intraocular inflammation.

CONCLUSIONS

BRAO, with subsequent transient or permanent visual impairment, is an additional ocular complication of BD.
