Ocular involvement is commonly seen in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, chorioretinopathy is an easily missed ocular manifestation of SLE. Early recognition and a multidisciplinary treatment approach can play a key role in reducing the ocular and systemic morbidity seen with this condition. This case report describes a patient with active SLE who presented with bilateral lupus chorioretinopathy. The patient demonstrated a significant improvement in ocular symptoms once the systemic disease was controlled.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
