About this trial

Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic inflammatory condition of unknown origin with no definite aetiopathogenetic pathways accepted worldwide. To date, only a few studies have investigated laryngeal involvement in BD and data about this are scarce. For these reasons, the present study focuses on verifying the occurrence of vocal cord involvement in patients with BD, identifying potential correlations with specific demographic, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics.
