Consistency of Visual Evoked Potential in Extraocular Manifestations of Behcet Disease and Impact of Corticosteroid Treatment

This study included 18 patients (36 eyes) with BD without recent ocular manifestations and 20 healthy controls (40 eyes). Clinical history was taken, and clinical examinations were done. Visual evoked potential recordings were performed by an electromyographic evoked machine for patients and controls. Corticosteroids were given to patients with extraocular activity, and VEP was repeated after clinical and laboratory improvement of the manifestations. Results: p100 latency of VEP was prolonged in 8 patients (11 eyes) (44.4% of cases). Mean p100 latency showed statistically significant prolongations in BD group compared with the control group (106.7 ± 8.1 ms vs. 99.6 ± 1.9 ms) with P value
