Bilateral Serous Retinal Detachment as an Initial Manifestation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus due to Hypoalbuminemia: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There are diverse etiologies of serous retinal detachment (SRD), and hypoalbuminemia is one of the rare causes of it. We report a case of bilateral SRD attributed to decreased serum albumin level caused by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
