Importance: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a thoroughly examined multi-organ disease whose common ocular complications are also well documented. However, SLE choroidopathy, being a rare ocular complication, is needed to be better understood, in order to make the differential diagnosis from clinical conditions such as central serous chorioretinopathy and provide adequate prompt treatment.
Objective: To provide a clear understanding for the clinical course of SLE choroidopathy by the help of enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography, fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine angiography.
Design: The study is designed as a case presentation, consisting of the physical examination results and the data gathered by the relevant screening methods for each visit, applied by the same ophthalmologists and technicians.
Setting: The visits were organized as same day examinations as needed, in a university hospital which works as a referral center.
