Abstract

Systemic sclerosis is a chronic, autoimmune, multisystem disease characterized by vascular dysfunction, chronic inflammation and widespread fibrosis. Although vascular involvement commonly manifests in the skin, it can also affect other organs, including the eyes. The characteristic vascular alteration is an obliterative fibroproliferative vasculopathy leading to hypoxia and tissue ischemia. We present a case of bilateral macular edema in a patient diagnosed with systemic sclerosis, as a consequence of retinal and choroidal vascular changes.

Resumen

La esclerosis sistémica (ES) es una enfermedad crónica, autoinmune y multisistémica que se caracteriza por una disfunción vascular, inflamación crónica y fibrosis generalizada. Aunque la afectación vascular se manifiesta comúnmente en la piel, también puede afectar otros órganos, incluyendo los ojos. La alteración vascular característica es una vasculopatía fibroproliferativa obliterante que conduce a la hipoxia e isquemia tisular. Presentamos un caso de edema macular (EM) bilateral en una paciente diagnosticada de ES como consecuencia de cambios vasculares retinianos y coroideos.
