Introducción: La retinocoroidopatía birdshot (RCB) es una uveítis posterior crónica, bilateral de origen autoinmune, con fuerte asociación al antígeno leucocitario humano HLA-A29. Objetivo: Describir un caso de RCB en Colombia. Material y métodos: Mujer caucásica de 57 años, con hallazgos clínicos y exámenes complementarios compatibles con RCB. Recibió terapia biológica durante 15 meses, con mejoría clínica significativa. Resultados y conclusiones: El tratamiento depende del estadio de la enfermedad y consiste en el uso solo de corticoesteroides o combinación con agentes inmunosupresores y biológicos, que han demostrado preservar la función visual y minimizar efectos adversos de los esteroides.
