RESUMEN
El lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) es una enfermedad autoinmune que afecta múltiples órganos incluidos los ojos. Entre las manifestaciones oculares del LES se encuentra la coroidopatía lúpica (CL), afección poco frecuente, pero de importantes repercusiones visuales si no se trata oportunamente. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 41 años que desarrolló una CL durante la reducción de su terapia corticoesteroidea para el LES, estudiada con angiofluoresceinografía retiniana y tomografía de coherencia óptica (OCT) para el diagnóstico y seguimiento de su compromiso ocular. Tanto las fugas del colorante como los desprendimientos serosos de retina cedieron con el tratamiento de altas dosis de prednisona, pero recurrieron en dos oportunidades a pesar del control de la enfermedad de fondo. Se enfatizan las características clínicas para permitir su reconocimiento, resaltando el uso de la OCT para su diagnóstico y seguimiento luego del tratamiento.
ABSTRACT
SUMMARY Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that affects multiple organs including the eyes. Among the ocular manifestations of SLE is lupus choroidopathy, a rare condition but with significant visual repercussions if not treated promptly. We present the case of a 41-year-old woman who developed a lupus choroidopathy during the reduction of the dose of corticosteroid therapy for SLE, studied with retinal angiofluoresceinography and OCT for the diagnosis and follow-up of her ocular involvement. Both the dye leaks and the serous retinal detachments resolved with the treatment of high doses of prednisone but recurred twice despite the control of the underlying disease. The clinical characteristics are emphasized to allow its recognition, highlighting the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for its diagnosis and follow-up after treatment.
