Journal Article

Purpose: To report acute photoreceptor layers loss in Behcet's disease and its anatomical recovery after treatment with systemic steroids, mycophenolate mofetil, and adalimumab. Methods: Case report. Results: A 16-year-old male who presented with an acute attack of Behcet's panuveitis along with loss of the ellipsoid zone (EZ) and interdigitation zone (IZ) on optical coherence tomography (OCT). Treatment resulted in complete recovery of photoreceptors and improvement in vision. Conclusion: Acute photoreceptor layers loss could be a manifestation of Behcet's uveitis and anatomical recovery may be achieved with aggressive and timely treatment.
