To investigate the correlation between widefield fundus fluorescein angiography (WF-FA) and anterior chamber laser flare photometry (LFP-flare) in Behçet uveitis (BU). Patients with BU who underwent Heidelberg WF-FA between March 2016 and March 2018 were included. Demographics, ocular findings, LFP-flare, central macular thickness were retrospectively analyzed. Eighty-six patients (162 eyes) were included. There was a high correlation between WF-FA leakage score and LFP-flare (rho: 0.691, p <.001). For a flare value of 5.75 ph/ms or higher, the sensitivity for predicting angiographic leakage was 70% and the specificity was 94% (AUC: 0.897, p <.001). Flare values that were equal or above 7.6 ph/ms were found to be 100% specific for leakage in the WF-FA. A strong correlation was found between WF-FA leakage and LFP-flare in patients with BU. High LFP-flare levels indicate subclinical posterior segment inflammation in clinically inactive BU. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
