Shotgun-like retinal choroidal lesions

Birdshot retina choroidopathy was first formally reported by Ryan and Maumenee in 1980. It is a rare chronic bilateral chorioretinitis characterized by multiple creamy lesions under the retina and retinal vasculitis. , Often accompanied by macular cystoid edema, optic disc edema and vitreous inflammation. It mainly appears in the fundus after the equator, and the lesions are mainly at the level of choroid and retinal pigment epithelium. Therefore, the name "birdshot choroidoretinopathy" (birdshot choroidoretinopathy) is more suitable, but because of the fundus appearance of this disease, people have become accustomed to the name of shotgun-like retinochoroid disease. .
