    This study reports three cases of retinal vasculitis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-type diseases. Treatments including prednisone and heparin showed effectiveness in managing visual loss associated with these conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Rheumatology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Retinal vasculitis is a serious ocular complication that can occur in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
    • Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for preserving vision in affected individuals.

    Observation:

    • Three distinct cases of retinal vasculitis in SLE-type diseases are presented.
    • Case 1: A 55-year-old female with SLE in remission experienced central retinal vein occlusion, which improved with heparin therapy.
    • Case 2: A 33-year-old female presented with bilateral optic neuritis, leading to the diagnosis of SLE. High-dose prednisone therapy resulted in visual improvement.
    • Case 3: A 17-year-old female with unclassified connective tissue disease and a history of optic neuritis had retinal vasculitis effectively treated with high-dose prednisone.

    Findings:

    • Retinal vasculitis can manifest in various forms, including central retinal vein occlusion and optic neuritis, in patients with SLE-type diseases.
    • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can present with ocular manifestations, even during periods of clinical remission.
    • Both heparin therapy and high-dose prednisone (1 mg/kg/day) demonstrated efficacy in treating visual loss associated with retinal vasculitis in these cases.

    Implications:

    • These cases highlight the importance of considering ocular involvement in SLE and related conditions.
    • Prompt and tailored therapeutic interventions, including anticoagulation and immunosuppression, are vital for managing retinal vasculitis and preventing irreversible vision loss.
    • Further research into the specific mechanisms and optimal management strategies for retinal vasculitis in SLE is warranted.
