Department of Ophthalmology, School of Medicine, Chiba University, Japan.

Behçet's disease with posterior uveitis was studied in 12 cases by flash electroretinography (FERG) and pattern visually evoked cortical potential (PVECP). Disappearance of oscillatory potentials was the initial change noted in FERG. Subnormal FERG and a delay in peak latency of the P100 component of PVECP were observed in patients with poor visual acuity and long-standing Behçet's disease. Amplitudes of PVECP were significantly decreased in these patients. It was suggested that FERG together with PVECP were good indicators for monitoring posterior segment changes and visual prognosis in Behçet's disease.

D001528 Behcet Syndrome Rare chronic inflammatory disease involving the small blood vessels. It is of unknown etiology and characterized by mucocutaneous ulceration in the mouth and genital region and uveitis with hypopyon. The neuro-ocular form may cause blindness and death. SYNOVITIS; THROMBOPHLEBITIS; gastrointestinal ulcerations; RETINAL VASCULITIS; and OPTIC ATROPHY may occur as well.

D014792 Visual Acuity Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast. Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
