| Abstract: | Summary One hundred and twelve records of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus were reviewed and four cases with unusual ocular manifestations are described. We found that anterior uveitis is not an uncommon manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus and physicians must be aware of it during the patient's evaluation, since it can be treated without serious visual loss. Optic neuritis is uncommon in systemic lupus erythematosus and visual loss may be permanent despite therapy. |
