  • Neurology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Behçet disease is a rare multisystem inflammatory disorder.
  • Ocular involvement in Behçet disease can lead to significant visual impairment.

Observation:

  • A 47-year-old male presented with sudden, severe visual loss in his left eye.
  • Ophthalmologic examination revealed decreased visual acuity, optic disc swelling, and a relative afferent pupillary defect.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with acute optic neuropathy.
  • Treatment with high-dose corticosteroids resulted in resolution of ocular findings within two weeks.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering Behçet disease in the differential diagnosis of acute optic neuropathy.
