Birdshot Chorioretinopathy

Retinocoroidopatía <i>birdshot</i>, reporte de un caso en Colombia

“…extrafoveal 6 , cada uno de estos estudios permiten seguir posibles complicaciones de la enfermedad, evolución de las lesiones coroides, vasculitis coroidea o retiniana, edema macular, membranas neovasculares, atrofia retiniana y oclusiones vasculares, entre otras 7 . Así mismo, los estudios electrofisiológicos como el ERGs, el ERG multifocal y los PVE han sido propuestos como métodos para evaluar la función retiniana generalizada y nerviosa, siendo capaces de monitorear la actividad, la progresión y la respuesta al tratamiento en pacientes con RCB 6,7 .…”

Bilateral juxtapapillary choroidal neovascularization secondary to Birdshot chorioretinopathy -- case report

“…The condition has a distinct clinical phenotype consisting of discrete anterior uveitis, moderate vitritis and/or vitreous debris, retinal vasculitis, and multiple characteristic, hypopigmented, cream-colored, irregularly shaped choroidal lesions, radiating from the optic disc to the equator. The typical birdshot lesions may take as long as 8 years to appear after onset of early symptoms 9 . The lesions, initially, seem to be located in the choroidal stroma.…”

“…Decline in central vision appears due to development of long term complications (egg. CME, epiretinal membranes, CNV, progressive choroidal atrophy, vitreous opacity, cataract, optic disc atrophy) 9 .…”

Bilateral juxtapapillary choroidal neovascularization secondary to Birdshot chorioretinopathy—case report

“… 1 , 2 , 3 After subtle early signs, it may take up to eight years for typical birdshot lesions to appear. 4 Initially, they seem to be located in the choroidal stroma, while in later stages, the lesions develop a more atrophic appearance and enlarge, involving the outer retina, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), the choroid, and eventually become irreversible. 5 The HLA‐A29 haplotype is strongly associated with BCR, observed in over 95% of patients.…”

“…Other complications include central retinal vein occlusion, recurrent vitreous hemorrhage, and optic atrophy. 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 …”
