Birdshot chorioretinopathy

Birdshot chorioretinopathy

“…In a series of birdshot chorioretinopathy patients assessed by ERG and by Goldmann perimetry, however, untreated subjects progressed toward a decreased visual function [26]. In several series, only the most severe cases are treated and therefore retrospective comparisons between treated and untreated groups can be particularly flawed [51].…”

“…Kiss et al [22] used mainly a combination of cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil, and reported a globally favorable outcome regarding the long-term preservation of visual function, measured by visual acuity as well as by serial ERGs. All treatment modalities of birdshot chorioretinopathy must be considered keeping in mind the potentially severe sideeffects of treatments, including the increased risk of secondary malignancies after the long-term use of immunosuppressive agents [19,51,53].…”
