Acute anterior ischemic optic neuropathy in birdshot retinochoroidopathy

A Caballero-Presencia et al. Ophthalmologica. 1988.

Abstract

Visual loss in birdshot retinochoroidopathy has been reported to be produced by cystoid macular edema, optic atrophy, epiretinal macular membranes and subretinal neovascularization. We present a patient with this syndrome in whom the visual loss was due to an acute anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. The possible common pathogenesis of both diseases is discussed.
