Birdshot chorioretinopathy

Multifocal electroretinogram in birdshot chorioretinopathy.

PURPOSE To characterize multifocal electroretinogram parameters in patients with birdshot chorioretinopathy. METHODS Twenty-eight patients with birdshot chorioretinopathy consecutively included from 2006 to 2011 were matched to 27 healthy subjects for age, axial length, and lens status. Multifocal electroretinogram was prospectively evaluated using the Vision Monitor system. RESULTS Birdsho...

Visual Electrodiagnostic Testing in Birdshot Chorioretinopathy

Birdshot chorioretinopathy (BSCR) is a rare form of autoimmune posterior uveitis that can affect the visual function and, if left untreated, can lead to sight-threatening complications and loss of central vision. We performed a systematic search of the literature focused on visual electrophysiology studies, including electroretinography (ERG), electrooculography (EOG), and visual evoked potenti...

Paracentral Acute Middle Maculopathy in Birdshot Chorioretinopathy: a Novel Association.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE To present a novel case of paracentral acute middle maculopathy in association with birdshot chorioretinopathy. METHODS Case report. RESULTS A patient presented with decreased vision and findings of uveitis, vasculitis and a paracentral scotoma. Multimodal imaging was consistent with paracentral acute middle maculopathy in the setting of a multifocal chorioretinopathy and...

Clinicopathological Correlation in a Patient with Previously Treated Birdshot Chorioretinopathy.

PURPOSE Birdshot chorioretinopathy (BCR) is a bilateral, chronic uveitis primarily involving the posterior segment that often results in progressive vision loss. Histopathology on eyes with BCR has been limited, but we had the rare opportunity to study the eyes of a donor with BCR. We sought to compare immunolabeling in the eyes of this donor who was treated with immunosuppression for over 30 y...
