A 57-year-old white woman developed autoimmune retinopathy (AIR) in both eyes associated with bilateral autoimmune sensorineural hearing loss. Laboratory testing was positive for 68kDa (heat-shock protein) and 136kDa (human interstitial retinoid-binding protein). Extensive cancer screening was negative. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography enhanced depth imaging demonstrated a markedly thickened choroid in both eyes. En face imaging showed a distinctive pattern of granular hyperreflective foveal dots. The concurrent sensorineural hearing loss was thought to be of autoimmune origin and also responded to immunosuppressive treatment. Eyes with non-paraneoplastic, seropositive AIR may have associated increased choroidal thickness. Audiology testing should be considered.
