AB  - PURPOSE: To evaluate the clinical characteristics, including spectral domain 
      optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) findings, of pediatric-onset Behcet's 
      disease (PBD) patients. METHODS: Medical records of 23 PBD (15 males and 8 
      females) and 24 (15 males and 9 females) healthy subjects were evaluated 
      retrospectively. The main outcomes were compared between PBD patients, with and 
      without ocular involvement, and healthy subjects. RESULTS: The mean age at onset 
      was 12.00 +/- 2.10 years. Mean follow-up period was 25.17 +/- 15.36 months (range 
      6-48). Retinal vasculitis was the most common ocular finding (7 patients). Most 
      of the complications of systemic treatment were associated with long term 
      corticosteroid therapy. There was no significant difference between the mean 
      retinal thickness of the PBD patients and healthy controls (p > 0.05). The mean 
      choroidal thickness was significantly increased in all measured segments of PBD 
      patients with ocular involvement (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Choroidal thickness of 
      PBD patients with ocular involvement was significantly thicker compared to the 
      PBD patients without ocular involvement and to healthy control subjects.
