	abstract = {PURPOSE: To present pre-papillary vitreous opacity as an uncommon manifestation of inflammation in Beh{\c c}et{\textquoteright}s disease that may be specific to this uveitic entity. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 67 patients with Beh{\c c}et{\textquoteright}s disease examined at our clinic between 2005 and 2016. Beh{\c c}et{\textquoteright}s disease was diagnosed based on established clinical criteria of inflammation involving the eyes, mucocutaneous junctions, and skin. Patients with Beh{\c c}et{\textquoteright}s disease who presented with papillitis and a pre-papillary vitreous opacity were identified. Response to anti-inflammatory treatment on examination and optical coherence tomography imaging were evaluated. PubMed searches were performed for (1) other cases with pre-papillary vitreous opacities in uveitic entities and (2) reports of optic nerve involvement specifically in Beh{\c c}et{\textquoteright}s disease. RESULTS: We identified three patients with Beh{\c c}et{\textquoteright}s disease who presented with unilateral papillitis and a pre-papillary vitreous opacity. The pre-papillary vitreous opacity had a funnel-shaped appearance on optical coherence tomography. All patients were initially treated with steroids, which led to resolution of the opacity clinically and on imaging. We identified one previous report of such a pre-papillary opacity in a patient with Beh{\c c}et{\textquoteright}s disease, and no reports of this finding in other uveitic entities. CONCLUSION: This study expands the number of Beh{\c c}et{\textquoteright}s disease cases presenting with a pre-papillary vitreous opacity and demonstrates novel optical coherence imaging of this finding. This finding may be specific to Beh{\c c}et{\textquoteright}s disease as it was not identified in other uveitic entities in a review of the existing literature.},
