Özet
53 years old female patient presented with sudden loss of sight of her right eye. The patient's neurological examination revealed a decrease in visual acuity (2/20) in her right eye. Her optical disc was hyperemic with edema. The patient's brain CT scans showed symmetrical calcifications in cerebellar peduncles, cerebral hemispheres, putamens and thalamus bilateraly. Laboratory examinations showed positive ANA, positive anti-DNA antibodies and lymphopenia leading to the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We report this case with SLE because of the rare comorbity of optic neuropathy with bilateral calcifacitions.
