Özet

Behcet's syndrome is a multisystem vasculitis of unknown aetiology. Eye involvement, the main cause of morbidity, can lead to blindness in 20% of those affected. Other lesions, ranging from aphthous and genital ulceration to sometimes fatal central nervous system involvement, also cause considerable morbidity and, we have become more recently aware, mortality.
