Abstract
Choroidal involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) occurs infreque ntly. We report a 45-y-old woman with bilateral chorioretinopathy associate d with SLE. Diagnosis was performed using indirect ophthalmoscopy, retinal fluorescein angiography (FA) and green indocianin angiography (ICG). In thi s patient chorioretinopathy and discoid-like plaque of the lids represented the only signs of SLE progression after 15 y of apparent remission of syst emic disease.
