Conjunctival microvascular abnormalities in two cases with Behcet's disease.
OBJECTIVE
To report the conjunctival microvascular abnormalities as the only ocular manifestation of two patients with Behcet's disease.


METHODS
Reporting two patients with Behcet's disease presenting conjunctival vascular lesions associated with subconjunctival hemorrhage.


RESULTS
The vascular lesions responded rapidly to treatment with topical steroids.


CONCLUSIONS
Microvascular involvement in Behcet's disease might also occur at unusual sites such as bulbar conjunctiva.
