MeSH Heading: Birdshot Chorioretinopathy
Tree Number(s): C11.768.773.348.500; C11.941.160.478.400.500; C11.941.879.780.900.300.318.500; C11.941.879.780.900.650.250; C20.111.303
Unique ID: D000080365
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000080365
Scope Note: 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.
Entry Term(s): Birdshot Chorioretinitis; Birdshot Retinochoroiditis; Birdshot Retinochoroidopathy
