Spontaneous resolution of unilateral Behcet's associated neuroretinitis.
American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports 2020 December
PURPOSE: Behcet's disease is an immune-mediated condition which can commonly have ocular involvement. We present a case of Behcet's associated neuroretinitis, which is a rare ocular manifestation of Behcet's disease.
OBSERVATIONS: The patient experienced significant improvement in her neuroretinitis without initiation of treatment. After 28 days of observation there was spontaneous resolution of exam findings and return of Snellen visual acuity to 20/20.
CONCLUSIONAND IMPORTANCE: There are only two other cases reported in the literature of Behcet's associated neuroretinitis. Both cases report bilateral involvement with concomitant frosted branch angiitis. This is also the only reported case with spontaneous resolution of abnormal exam findings with return to 20/20 visual acuity. This case highlights the complexity of ocular involvement in Behcet's disease.
