Oman J Ophthalmol. 2018 Jan-Apr;11(1):75-77. doi: 10.4103/0974-620X.226341.

Abstract

A 34-year-old female a known scleroderma patient presented to us with ocular manifestations in the form choroiditis along with optic nerve involvement. Blood investigations were done, and the ocular findings were confirmed by fundus fluorescein angiography. She was successfully managed with systemic steroid therapy. Among the protean ocular manifestations in scleroderma, only a few cases of choroidal involvement have been reported. Further, clinical and histopathological studies may be needed to throw light on the exact etiopathogenesis.

Keywords: Choroiditis; optic nerve; scleroderma; steroids.
