Abstract

This case report involves a 32-year-old man with Behçet's disease who had simultaneous bilateral anterior uveitis, unilateral nodular scleritis, and occlusive vasculitis with retinal hemorrhages. Although scleritis is not a classical feature of Behçet's disease, a diagnosis of Behçet's disease should be considered in patients with scleritis.

Keywords: Behçet’s Disease; Scleritis; Uveitis.
