Behçet syndrome with eye involvement.

Behçet's uveitis (BU) is a significant form of major organ involvement in Behçet syndrome and is associated with considerable morbidity. Ocular examination is crucial for diagnosing BS and detecting vitreous cells, even in asymptomatic patients. The primary goals in managing BU are to rapidly suppress ocular inflammation and prevent relapses. Initial treatment for posterior segment involvement in BU typically involves immunosuppressive agents combined with glucocorticoids. Biologic agents are increasingly used in BU management, including as first-line treatments for patients with poor prognostic risk factors or sight-threatening uveitis. There is no established consensus on when to discontinue or taper immunosuppressive therapy. Once remission is achieved, the absence of retinal vasculitis should be confirmed with fluorescein angiography, which should be utilized throughout the process of tapering immunosuppressive therapy. In addition to monoclonal tumor necrosis factor-alpha antagonists and tocilizumab, Janus kinase inhibitors may offer the potential for managing BU in the future.
