ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To investigate effects of vitreoretinal surgery in Behçet's disease. MATERIALS ANDMETHOD:
Vitreoretinal surgery was applied to 26 eyes of 21 patients with Behçet's disease. Preoperative and postoperative visual acuities, number and duration of attacks, anterior and posterior segment pathologies were evaluated.RESULTS:
The mean age of the patients was 33 years and female/male ratio was 6/15. The mean follow-up was 23 months. Visual acuity increased in 15 eyes (58%), did not change in 11 eyes (42%). In the postoperative period, there was a significant decrease in mean number of uveitis attacks compared to the preoperative period (p=0.001), as well as a significant decrease in the mean duration of uveitis attacks (p=0.001). In the postoperative follow-up, intravitreal haemorrhage in 2 eyes (8%), posterior subcapsular cataract in 5 eyes (19%) and corticonuclear cataract in 2 eyes (8%) were observed. Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) developed in 5 of 16 eyes (31%) having ECLE-IOL. CME continued in 3 eyes (12%).CONCLUSION:
Vitreoretinal surgery has favourable effect on the visual and anatomic prognosis in Behçet's patients with severe ocular complications.
