✦ Synopsis
Systemic lupus erythematosus associated ocular manifestations usually consist of cotton-wool spots and retinal hemorrhages. The authors report one case of lupus choroidopathy revealed by bilateral serous retinal detachment, occurring 4 months after a systemic flare-up of the disease. An immune complexes-mediated phenomenon is involved in these manifestations, which are usually controlled by systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents. Plasma exchanges were successfully applied in this case, resulting in a disappearance of the retinal detachment in one month.
