Case report: We report the case of a patient with serpiginous choroiditis who developed an autoinmune hepatitis. Discussion: The etiology of serpiginous choroiditis remains uncertain. An immune-mediated mechanism has been reported. This case shows an association between serpiginous choroiditis and autoimmune processes.

Keywords : Serpiginous choroiditis; autoimmune hepatitis; autoimmunity; steroids; choriocapillaris.
