Abstract

Purpose: : To report a case series of birdshot retinochoroidopathy patients with optical coherence tomographic (OCT) evidence of diffuse macular thinning.

Methods: : This is a retrospective case series. All cases of birdshot retinochoroidopathy in a single referral practice were reviewed for evidence of macular or foveal thinning as measured by OCT.

Results: : Seven eyes of four patients were found to have macular thinning on OCT. The average length of time the patients had a diagnosis of birdshot retinochoroidopathy was 15.75 years (range 10–27 years). The median Snellen acuity was 20/100 (range 20/50–hand motions). The mean foveal thickness was 137.6 microns (range 117–159 microns). The mean macular volume was 5.074 cubic millimeters (range 4.177–5.965 cubic millimeters).

Conclusions: : Macular thinning as measured by OCT occurs in patients with birdshot retinochoroidopathy. Patients may have good visual acuity despite the presence of foveal thinning.
