Abstract :
Dear Editor,
We describe two clinical cases of patients who first presented
to ophthalmologists with bilateral serous macular elevation
and generalized edema. They were later diagnosed
with lupus protein‑losing enteropathy complicated
with life‑threatening conditions and were treated with
immunosuppressants. As ophthalmic symptoms could be
the initial presentation of this disease, our report highlights
the importance of careful systemic review and early referral
to reduce the morbidity and mortality.
