Birdshot Retinochoroidopathy
Birdshot retinochoroidopathy (also known as birdshot chorioretinopathy, vitiliginous chorioretinitis, or simply birdshot uveitis) is a chronic, bilateral, posterior uveitis with characteristic yellow-white lesions in the fundus. HLA-A29 is a strong genetic risk factor, and the disease has been hypothesized to be due to an autoimmune response to retinal S antigens.
