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.

Key Words: ocular manifestations • chorioretinopathy • discoid-like plaque of lids • retinal fluorescein angiography (FA) • green indocianine angiography (ICG)
