“…In association with chorioretinal granulomas or posterior scleritis; choroidal folds, choroidal effusions, or an exudative retinal detachment may also be seen [62]. Few cases of AAV associated necrotizing scleritis which developed combined choroidal and retinal detachment, sometimes mimicking a choroidal tumor have been reported [72,73]. Pulido et al reported ocular manifestations of six patients with AAV, in whom one with GPA had bilateral choroidal folds.…”

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.
