“…Few cases with choroidal neovascularization and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy secondary to SLE have also been reported [127]. Another rare presentation of choroidal involvement is the punctate inner choroidopathy which has been reported in a single case of SLE [128]. • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multisystem autoimmune disease affecting synovial-lined joints in the hands, feet, wrists and knees.…”

Systemic vasculitides are a large group of heterogeneous diseases characterized by inflammatory destruction of blood vessels targeting diverse organs and tissues including the eye. As the most vascularized layer of the eye, the choroid is expected to be affected in multiple systemic rheumatologic diseases with vascular involvement. While there are plenty of studies investigating retinal vascular involvement, choroidal vascular involvement in systemic vasculitides has not been investigated in isolation. However, choroidal manifestations including thickness changes, choroidal vasculitis and ischemia may be the earliest diagnostic features of systemic vasculitic diseases. Thus, multimodal imaging of the choroid may help early detection of choroidal involvement which may also have prognostic implications in these life-threatening diseases. This article aimed to review involvement of the choroid in systemic vasculitic diseases.
