Preferred Label : Birdshot Chorioretinopathy;
MeSH definition : A form of chorioretinitis characterized by multiple small, cream-colored LESIONS,
symmetrically scattered mainly around the OPTIC DISK. These lesions are the most distinctive
sign and often appear at the level of the RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM but, on occasion,
suggest an even deeper infiltration and may ultimately lead to visual loss. An association
with HLA-A29 antigen (see HLA-A ANTIGENS) has been observed in nearly all patients.;
