Purpose : This study sought to evaluate mean central choroidal thickness (CCT) in patients with Behçet’s disease (BD)-associated uveitis, and compare it with healthy controls.

Methods :Our prospective cross-sectional study included 44 eyes of 31 active Behçet’s disease uveitis, and 62 eyes of 33 healthy controls.

Central subfoveal choroidal thickness in the two study groups was measured by enhanced depth imaging–spectral domain optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT).

Results : Eyes of patients with active ocular BD had significantly higher mean central subfoveal choroidal thickness than controls group (416.8 ± 91.718 versus 368.18 ± 47.055 P= 0.001< 0.05) Conclusion : This study demonstrates that BD may have clinical manifestations in the choroid, and the measurement of subfoveal choroidal thickness by EDI-OCT may be useful for evaluating the activity of uveitis in the future.
