According to these findings, peripapillary and macular vessel density is affected in BD. Key Points • The study utilized OCTA to compare retinal features in Behçet's disease (BD) patients and healthy individuals, revealing significant differences in retinal thickness and vessel density. • Ocular BD demonstrated reduced peripapillary vessel density compared to non-ocular BD. • The demonstrated association between ADMA and cIMT in patients with early SSc may suggest a role of NO/ADMA pathway in the initiation of macrovascular injury in SSc.
