  • Birdshot Choroidopathy

    Oct 9 2013 by Maurice F. Rabb

    Forty two year old white female first noted flashing lights in her left eye at the age of 30. Although she had many previous eye examinations for low grade myopia, she had never had a dilated fundus examination. The evaluation twelve years ago disclosed 20/20 acuity in each eye with a myopic correction, an afferent pupillary defect on the left, no evidence of anterior segment inflammation in either eye, a full field on the right and markedly constricted field on the left, fundus pigmentary abnormalities extending beyond the equator in each eye, and narrow vessels with pigment migration into the retina in the left eye only.

  • Birdshot Retinopathy

    May 9 2023 by JEFFERSON R SOUSA, Tecg.º (Biomedical Systems Technology)

    Female patient, 41 years old, with progressive low visual acuity, progressive history of autoimmune disease. In the multimodal retinal fundoscopic evaluation, important characteristics compatible with "Birdshot Retinopathy" were observed. Birdshot retinopathy, also known as birdshot chorioretinopathy or birdshot uveitis, is a rare, chronic inflammatory disorder that affects the retina and the choroid of the eye. It typically develops in adults between the ages of 30 and 60 years, and is more common in women than men. The name "birdshot" refers to the small, round, yellow-white spots that appear on the retina, which resemble the pattern of a shotgun blast. These spots are caused by inflammation in the eye, and can lead to vision loss if left untreated. Symptoms of birdshot retinopathy include blurred vision, floaters, loss of night vision, and difficulty adapting to changes in lighting. The condition can also cause inflammation in other parts of the eye, leading to redness, pain, and sensitivity to light. The exact cause of birdshot retinopathy is unknown, but it is believed to be an autoimmune disorder, in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the retina and choroid. Treatment typically involves the use of immunosuppressive medications, such as corticosteroids or biologic agents, to reduce inflammation and preserve vision. Close monitoring by an ophthalmologist is important, as the disease can progress even with.
