We presented a 35 year old case who was diagnosed as ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and developed clinical features of Behcet’s disease (BD) during his follow-up. He fullfills the Modified NewYork criteria for AS. He had an ocular involvement which was diagnosed as iridocyclitis with hypopyon and retinal vasculitis. His phenotype was positive for HLA-B27 and negative for HLA-B5. In this case, a combination of AS and BD has been observed and discussed.
