Orbital inflammation associated with Behcet's disease.

摘要

Herein a case of a 35-year-old woman with a history of Behcet's disease, who presented with swelling and redness of her right eye with increasing pain, is reported. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed enlargement of the right lacrimal gland and contrast enhancement of the extraocular muscles. A diagnosis of orbital inflammation was made and the patient was treated with corticosteroids, with prompt resolution of symptoms and clinical signs. Orbital inflammation should be considered as an ophthalmic manifestation of Behcet's disease.
