Chorioretinopathy and discoid plaque-like lesions of the eyelids as useful indicators of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) progression.
Choroidal involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) occurs infrequently. We report a 45-y-old woman with bilateral chorioretinopathy associated with SLE. Diagnosis was performed using indirect ophthalmoscopy, retinal fluorescein angiography (FA) and green indocianin angiography (ICG). In this patient chorioretinopathy and discoid-like plaque of the lids represented the only signs of SLE progression after 15 y of apparent remission of systemic disease.
