Overview
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of Behcet disease usually develop in the second to third decade of life, and start with symptoms such as uveitis, mouth sores, and skin lesions.
Complications
- Common complications of Behcet disease include:
- Neuro Behcet
- Vision loss
- Aneurysm
Prognosis
- Depending on the extent of the disease at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as good.
- The worst prognoses are associated with retinal vasculitis, leading to blindness; vascular aneurysm formation, with possible rupture; and neuro–Behçet syndrome, which may lead to dementia despite appropriate aggressive treatment.
