CASE REPORT: A young female patient with systemic lupus erithematosus, inactive for a long period, is described. She develops bilateral serous detachments of the retinal pigment epithelium and neurosensory retina after corticosteroid therapy for a residual nephritis. DISCUSSION: This unusual chorioretinopathy has been reported in association with systemic lupus erithematosus and during corticosteroid therapy in many disorders. This patient, with low activity erithematosus lupus, develops serous retinal detachments after receiving corticosteroid therapy that damage the coriocapillary-pigment epithelium barrier, disordered in lupus patients.

Caso clínico: Se describe una paciente joven con lupus eritematoso sistémico, en largo período de inactividad, en la que una pauta de bajas dosis de esteroides para su nefropatía residual desencadena en la retina unos desprendimientos serosos bilaterales del epitelio pigmentario y del neuroepitelio.Discusión: La existencia de esta rara coriorretinopatía ha sido descrita tanto en el lupus eritematoso sistémico como asociada al uso de esteroides en diversos procesos. La peculiaridad del caso se basa en la aparición de desprendimientos serosos retinianos en un lupus eritematoso muy poco activo, desencadenados por la terapia esteroidea, que daña el complejo coriocapilar-epitelio pigmentario, ya alterado en los pacientes con lupus.

We report a case of intracystic hemorrhage in a patient with acquired cystic kidney disease, undergoing hemodialysis. A surgical procedure was performed owing to the discrepancy between the clinical and radiological findings. The histological analyses revealed no evidence of kidney tumours.
