海报摘要

Systemic sclerosis is a chronic connective tissue autoimmune disorder involving multiple systems in a progressive manner, characterised by fibrosis of the skin and internal organs, and vasculopathy. It affects mainly musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, renal and cardiopulmonary systems. It is a sporadic disease with worldwide distribution. The hallmark of systemic sclerosis is thickening and fibrosis of the skin which is due to excessive collagen production. In the early stages, evidence of inflammation, autoimmunity and altered microvascular function are common. Overa period of time, progressive and irreversible structural changes in small blood vessesls and fibrosis in multiple organs are seen. Ocular involvement is rare which mainly results as a complication of the disease. It may involve anterior to posterior segment, orbit and extraocular muscles. Here we are presenting a rare case of bilateral optic neuropathy in a female with diffuse systemic sclerosis and interstitial lung disease.
