RESUMO
Behçet's disease (BD) is a vascular disorder affecting a variety of organ systems. It is an auto-immune disease with inflammatory vasculitis that is systemic in nature, the exact etiology of which is unknown. Obliterative vasculitis, recurrent aphthous ulcers, mucocutaneous manifestations, recurrent genital ulcerations, and intraocular inflammation, especially chronic relapsing uveitis, are the characteristic features of BD. The case report presents a unique manifestation of BD in a 20-year-old Pakistani male who presents with a one-year-old history of viral encephalitis, after which he developed a blurring of vision. On examination, he had recurrent aphthous ulcers, recurrent ulcerations of genitalia, and a history of lesions of the skin. After making the patient undergo a cascade of investigations for evaluating and assessing the various signs and symptoms, a diagnosis of BD with bilateral panuveitis and a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) in the right eye was established. Immuno-suppressants, steroids, and azathioprine were used as treatment options, following which the state of remission was attained.
