Key Points

  • To describe the multimodal imaging characteristics and management of choroidal neovascular membrane associated with systemic lupus erythematosus.
  • Case report of a 31-year-old female with diminished vision.
  • Used multimodal imaging techniques including optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiogram.
  • Administered three monthly doses of intravitreal Ranibizumab injections.
  • Diagnosis of choroidal neovascular membrane was confirmed using imaging characteristics.
  • Patient experienced improvement in visual acuity following treatment with Ranibizumab.
  • Multimodal imaging provided critical insights for diagnosis and management.

Abstract

This case report describes the multimodal imaging characteristics and the management of inflammatory choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) in posterior uveitis secondary to systemic lupus erythematosus. A 31-year-old female presented with complaints of diminished vision in her left eye. She has a history of being treated for posterior uveitis elsewhere. A diagnosis of CNVM was made based on imaging characteristics seen in optical coherence tomography, optical coherence tomography angiography, fluorescein angiogram, and indocyanine green angiography. She was successfully treated with three monthly doses of intravitreal Ranibizumab injections.
