“…Only one study published in the literature analyzes ovarian artery Doppler sonography in BD. In that study, Cil et al found that the ovarian artery Doppler sonographic characteristics did not show any significant difference compared with controls (18). Also, hormonal parameters and ovarian volumes were similar between BD patients and controls.…”

summaryBehçet's disease (BD) may affect female reproductive vasculature. We aimed to evaluate Doppler sonographic characteristics of female reproductive vasculature and also ovarian volume, endometrial thickness (EMT) and antral follicle count of BD patients in comparison with a healthy control group. Seventeen premenopausal women aged between 18-45 years with BD, and a control group of 31 age-and body mass index-matched healthy women was included in the study. Uterine, spiral and intraovarian artery blood flow were examined by Doppler sonography in the late follicular phase. Resistance index, pulsatility index and systolic/diastolic ratio were recorded together with ovarian volume, EMT and antral follicle count. In particular this is a pilot study including the evaluation of the spiral and uterine arteries in BD. Doppler sonographic parameters, ovarian volume, EMT and antral follicle count of BD patients and healthy controls were not found to be statistically different. As a result of our analysis, we found similar Doppler sonographic features of both BD patients and the control group. Further studies conducted on a larger sample population with more aggressive BD symptoms may reveal the actual effect of BD on the female reproductive system.

“…There are some studies available in the literature regarding this subject. In one of these studies Çil et al found no significant difference in terms of hormone levels between the Behcet and control groups [10]. However in another study, Proençha et al reported that serum prolactin levels were significantly higher in BD patients versus controls [11].…”

Behcet's disease (BD) is a chronic disease which is characterized by recurrent oral apthous ulcerations, recurrent genital ulcerations, skin eruptions, ocular involvements and other various systemic manifestations as well as systemic vasculitis. Endocrine involvement in BD regarding various systems can be seen. Hypophysis is one of the best and dense vascularized organs of the body, thus it is likely that it can be affected by BD. Not only anterior hypophysis functions, but posterior hypophysis functions as well can be affected. As BD is a disease of autoimmune process, it may be possible that adrenal insufficiency or alterations in the cortisol levels could be expected. Another concern is whether or not there is insulin resistance in patients with BD. The avaliable data suggests that there is an increased susceptibility to insulin resistance in patients with BD.

“…of its low cost, low recurrence rate, microinvasiveness, and repeatability. Gynecologic applications and studies of contrast-enhanced sonography have primarily focused on uterine and ovarian solid tumors and hydrotubation 9,10 ; however, to our knowledge, this technique has not been applied to ovarian endometrial cysts, even though contrastenhanced sonography is the best imaging method for detecting microvasculature. [11][12][13][14] In this study, contrastenhanced sonography was used to image ovarian endometrial cysts before and after interventional treatment.…”
