RETINAL AND CHOROIDAL VASOhyphen;OCCLUSIVE DISEASE IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS ASSOCIATED WITH ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID ANTIBODIES

摘要

Three patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) associated with antiphospholipid antibodies are reported. All three had severe vaso-occlusive disease: the first had an unilateral vaso-occlusive retinopathy, the second an unilateral central retinal venous obstruction, and the third a bilateral ischemic choroidopathy. The association of these occlusive ocular vascular diseases with the presence of the lupus anticoagulant and other associated factors in SLE is discussed. RETINA 10:255ndash;260, 1990
