ABSTRACT
Any of the various layers of the eye may suffer injury in systemic lupus erythematosus, ranging from keratoconjunctivitis sicca to retinopathy and optic neuritis. Rheumatologists must always be aware of ocular involvement in those patients since rapid diagnosis and a prompt intervention in those severe cases can prevent visual loss or even irreversible blindness. We present here the case of a 14-year-old girl who, despite a short period of disease, developed chorioretinopathy with transitory visual impairment with a good treatment response.
