“…The rate in the treated patients represents a more favourable outcome than the previously reported rate of 23% of severe deterioration of vision in uveitis in childhood-onset BD, 3 as well as the 23 and 20% reported rate in recently published large multicentered studies of Behçet's patients. 17,18 Complications in BD occur either as a result of direct tissue inflammation, such as retinitis or optic nerve involvement, leading to residual anatomic and functional damages, or indirectly from cataract, elevated intraocular pressure, cystoid macular oedema, and epiretinal membrane. The rates of complications in both the paediatric and adult groups in our study were lower than the previously published data 3,16 (Table 5), except for posterior segment complications in the adult group, which were similar to the literature.…”
