No differences were found in the migration patterns. Key Words Bechet's B51 INTRODUCTION HLA B51 serological specificity is a well-defined immunogenetic marker for the ocular form of Behcet's Disease (Ohno et al., 1978; Yazici et al., 1980; Okuyama et al., 1984; Baricordi et…

One patient had no clinical signs of increased intracranial pressure, but CT showed bilateral, symmetrical enlargement of the orbital opticnerves with no change after contrast enhancement.
