Abstract
Orbital involvement in systemic vasculitis is common especially during the granulomatous vasculitis associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) and Behçet diesease. Ophthalmic manifestations are in connection with extra- or intraocular blood vessel involvement. Ophthalmic evaluation with a fundus oculi examination, laboratory tests and chest X-ray are systematic. Orbital, facial, and cerebral imaging (CT and MRI) studies may be useful to assess the diagnosis.
