DESIGN: Prospective study. PARTICIPANTS: Eighty-five eyes of 45 patients with Behcet's panuveitis (19 eyes with active phase, 48 eyes with remission phase, and 18 eyes with end-stage phase) and 84 eyes of 42 controls were enrolled in this study. METHODS: CT measurements were obtained beneath the fovea and at 500-mu m intervals for 3 mm nasal and temporal to the centre of the fovea. Correlation analyses were calculated to assess the relationship of the CT with age and disease duration. RESULTS: At all 13 measurement points, CT was significantly thinnest in end-stage-phase eyes and thickest in active-phase eyes (p < 0.01). CT was thicker in remission-phase eyes compared with control eyes at foveal and perifoveal points, but the trend was not statistically significant. The mean CT at each of the 13 measured points showed a negative correlation with age and disease duration (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Submacular CT, as measured by enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography, was significantly reduced in eyes with Behcet's panuveitis in the end-stage phase and increased in those in the active phase.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCENTRAL SEROUS CHORIORETINOPATHYINDOCYANINE GREEN ANGIOGRAPHYSUBFOVEAL CHOROIDAL THICKNESSKOYANAGI-HARADA DISEASEPOSTERIOR UVEITISCHORIOCAPILLARISSEXarticle52148530003968996000292-s2.0-85007009933
