Abstract
The aim of this prospective study was to determine and compare the orbital Doppler
ultrasonography parameters of patients with Behçet's disease (with or without ocular
involvement) with those of healthy subjects. We evaluated ophthalmic artery (OA),
central retinal artery, posterior ciliary artery (PCA), central retinal vein, and
superior ophthalmic vein (SOV) flow velocities and resistance indices (RIs). Detection
of the decreased flow velocities in the OA and SOV and the increased RI in the OA
and PCA might allow the identification of active period of patients with Behçet's
disease.
