Systemic lupus erythematosus retinopathy in a 32-year-old female: Report of a case.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is rare in India with a prevalence of 3 in 100,000.[1] SLE retinopathy is second most common ocular manifestation after keratoconjunctivitis sicca and a major vision‑threatening complication of SLE with an incidence of upto 29% in patients with systemic active disease.[2] We present this photo essay to illustrate the classic features of SLE retinopathy and the co‑ordinated role of Ophthalmologist (including sub‑specialties) with Physicians (Rheumatologist and/or Dermatologist) in managing these multi‑system and multi‑organ autoimmune disorders.

Unilateral Punctate inner choroidopathy with choroidal neovascular membrane in a young male.

Punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC), first described by Watzke et al., in 1984, is a disease of young, relatively healthy, myopic women characterized by small yellow‑white lesions of the inner choroid and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).[1] The chorioretinal lesions seen in PIC tend to be small and acutely no larger than 500 μm. Acute lesions heals to atrophic scars and develop more pigmentation with time. Choroidal neovascular membranes (CNVM) develops in more than half of these individuals. We describe a case of PIC occurring in a young adult male with CNVM. The clinical characteristics, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) findings are described.
