[BIRDSHOT CHORIORETINOPATHY].

Birdshot chorioretinopathy, also known as "Birdshot uveitis" is a binocular, chronic disease, as a result of inflammation in the posterior segment of the eye. The hallmarks of the disease are multiple white-creamy choroidal ovoid lesions. The symptoms of the disease range from good visual acuity with only mild symptoms, to a significant and permanent decrease in vision. This review aims to provide information about the course, clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment for Birdshot chorioretinopathy. The initial diagnosis is made through fundus examination, in addition to support of positive HLA-A29 results and imaging modalities such as FA, ICG and OCT which are used as tools for initial diagnosis, response to treatment and monitoring the course of the disease. The treatment depends on the inflammatory activity and includes steroids (mainly systemic), and different types of immunosuppressive medications.
