Irreversible blindness in systemic lupus erythematosis

S M Nasser et al. Br J Rheumatol. 1993 Oct.

Abstract

We describe a patient with systemic lupus erythematosis and renal involvement and who developed visual impairment in the absence of hypertension and anti-cardiolipin antibodies. This was attributed to occlusive vascular disease and choroidal infarction in the context of active lupus. Complete and irreversible blindness developed rapidly despite treatment and the patient died of cerebral haemorrhage 2 months after discharge.
