Birdshot chorioretinopathy (BSCR) is a bilateral, chronic posterior uveitis with characteristic clinical and imaging findings. Multimodal imaging including optical coherence tomography, fluorescein, and indocyanine green angiography is useful in diagnosis, as well as monitoring disease activity. Cystoid macular edema, choroidal thickening and infiltration, ellipsoid loss, and vasculitis are important imaging markers for disease activity. The purpose of this case series is to discuss the spectrum of disease presentations and highlight both common and atypical imaging characteristics of BSCR that may provide clinical insight to allow for better identification and treatment of disease.
鸟枪弹样脉络膜视网膜病变(BSCR)是一种双侧性慢性后葡萄膜炎,具有特征性的临床和影像学表现。包括光学相干断层扫描、荧光素和吲哚菁绿血管造影在内的多模态成像在诊断以及监测疾病活动方面很有用。黄斑囊样水肿、脉络膜增厚和浸润、椭圆体层缺失以及血管炎是疾病活动的重要影像学标志物。本病例系列的目的是讨论疾病表现的范围,并突出BSCR常见和非典型的影像学特征,这些特征可能为临床提供见解,以便更好地识别和治疗该疾病。
