Choroidopathy in systemic lupus erythematosus: Report of two cases with literature review

Abstract

The ophthalmic manifestations of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) are protean, however, choroidopathy is rare. We present two SLE cases with choroidal involvement as the first manifestation, and relevant literatures are reviewed. Both ophthalmists and rheumatologists should be aware of choroidopathy as a rare manifestation of active SLE. Early recognition and proper treatment are important for good prognosis.
