The Spectrum of Uveitis and Retinal Vasculitis in Systemic Sclerosis: A Case Series
Systemic sclerosis in adults rarely causes ocular inflammation; when present, it is most often associated with retinal vasculitis. This is the first case series to report active retinal vasculitis in association with systemic sclerosis. Patients may be asymptomatic despite significant vascular leakage. Retinal vasculitis should be considered in patients with systemic sclerosis who develop ocular complaints.
