    A 37-year-old male with Behçet’s disease presented with unilateral, painless, progressive vision loss and recurrent oral ulcers.

  • 2

    Longitudinal multimodal imaging revealed bilateral outer retinopathy and retinal vasculitis, indicating an acute progressive episode.

  • 3

    The diagnosis of multizonal outer retinopathy and retinal pigment epitheliopathy (MORR) complicated by Behçet’s uveitis was established.

  • 4

    Systemic treatment with corticosteroids and cyclosporine resulted in stable lesions at three-month follow-up, with subtle progression at nine months.

    This case emphasizes the need for multimodal imaging in Behçet’s disease and highlights the potential for concurrent outer retinopathy.
