Sweet syndrome (SS), or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, [1] [2] is a skin disease characterized by the sudden onset of fever, an elevated white blood cell count, and tender, red, well-demarcated papules and plaques that show dense infiltrates by neutrophil granulocytes on histologic examination.
There are many diseases known to cause ocular or visual changes. Diabetes , for example, is the leading cause of new cases of blindness in those aged 20–74, with ocular manifestations such as diabetic retinopathy and macular edema affecting up to 80% of those who have had the disease for 15 years or more.
A rare form of ocular (eye) involvement in this syndrome is retinal vasculitis which presents with painless decrease of vision with the possibility of floaters or visual field defects. [4] Optic nerve involvement in Behçet's disease is rare, typically presenting as progressive optic atrophy and visual loss.

Other general symptoms of Behçet's disease are also present among Parenchymal NBD patients such as genital ulcers, skin lesions and ocular involvement. When the brainstem is affected, ophthalmoparesis , cranial neuropathy , and cerebellar or pyramidal dysfunction may be observed. [ 2 ]
Typically, brain and eye involvement occur on the same side as the port-wine stain. Over time, port-wine stains can develop soft tissue or bone hypertrophy, proliferative nodules, and progressive ectasia which can lead to significant disfigurement. [45] The two most common ocular manifestations include glaucoma and choroidal hemagioma.
