    Author: Guerriero S, Ciracì L, Cardia G, Vetrugno M.
    Journal: Ocul Immunol Inflamm; 2010 Oct; 18(5):383-4. PubMed ID: 20735286.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report ultrabiomicroscopy (UBM) evidence of choroid effusion as a cause of acute transient myopia in the onset of systemic lupus erythematosus. DESIGN: Observational case report. METHODS: A Caucasian 16-year-old girl was referred to the Hematology Department for progressive anemia, intermittent fever, and blurred vision. RESULTS: Systemic lupus erythematosus was confirmed by hematological investigations. UBM examination evidenced choroid effusion as the cause of a transient myopic shift. CONCLUSIONS: Early diagnosis, thanks to the performance of an ultrasound examination, enabled the timely institution of therapy and hence a rapid resolution of the symptoms.
