Birdshot Chorioretinitis and Fundus Autofluorescence: Novel Insights Into Disease Pathogenesis
Birdshot chorioretinitis (BSCR), an ocular autoimmune disease, is one of the most well-characterized posterior uveitis syndromes, with its strong HLA-A29 haplotype association and characteristic disease features (i.e., optic disc edema, periphlebitis, cystoid macular edema, and chorioretinal lesions leading to degenerative changes of the retina, choroid, and retinal pigment epithelium). The spe...

متن کاملEditorial: Insights into disease pathogenesis and novel therapeutics
As we strive to advance our understanding and management of sinonasal disorders, the March issue of American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy continues to offer useful information to clinicians and researchers, with an eye towards the future. In general, most patients with sinonasal disorders do fairly well utilizing current practice paradigms. However, as practitioners, it is clear to us that ...
متن کاملOCT findings in birdshot chorioretinitis: a glimpse into retinal disease evolution.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Birdshot chorioretinitis is a rare disease independently involving the retina and the choroid. Retinal involvement has deleterious functional consequences. This study aimed to follow retinal profiles in early (< 1 year, untreated), intermediate (1 to 6 years, receiving therapy), and late (> 6 years) birdshot chorioretinitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Optical coherence tomo...
