Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Presenting as Neuroretinitis.
Journal of the Association of Physicians of India 2015 October
Neuroretinitis is the inflammation of retina and optic nerve. It is associated with optic disc edema accompanied by peripapillary or macular hard exudates. A 17 yr old female presented with headache and nausea of five days duration. She had periorbital edema and mild splenomegaly. Neurological assessment was non-contributory. She was found to have pancytopenia, albuminuria and a high ESR. Thereafter she developed blurring of vision of both eyes. Opthalmological examination showed it to be due to bilateral neuroretinitis. ANA and anti-ds DNA were strongly positive. Renal biopsy with immunofluorescence study revealed diffuse global proliferative lupus nephritis with active lesions [class IV-G (A)]. She was diagnosed as a case of SLE presenting with neuroretinitis.
