Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease of unknown etiology, which affects skins, joints and other parts of body. Retinopathies associated SLE occur in 3.3% to 28% of cases, the incidence rising with the severity of systemic disease, and generally are found late in the disease. The most common findings described are cotton wool spots, retinal hemorrhages, and optic disc edema. We report two cases of SLE who had retinopathies as early manifestation of disease.

Keywords Systemic lupus erythematosus, Retinopathy, Retinal vasculitis
