Long-Term Outcomes of Birdshot Chorioretinopathy Treated with Corticosteroids: A Case Reports.

Purpose: To report the progression of patients diagnosed with birdshot chorioretinopathy (BSCR) initially treated with corticosteroids.

Methods: We included 39 BSCR patients that were followed for ≥1 year. We analyzed their progression under treatment after 1, 3, 6 months, 1 year, and at the end of follow-up.

Acute Retinal Necrosis: Virological Features Using Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction, Therapeutic Management, and Clinical Outcomes.

Purpose: To evaluate outcomes of patients treated with intensive intravitreal therapy and to describe the evolution of quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) in patients treated for acute retinal necrosis (ARN) syndrome.

Design: Retrospective observational case series.

Methods: This study included 25 eyes of 24 patients with ARN who were treated and followed up in 2 departments of ophthalmology in Lyon, France.

Efficacy of Methylprednisolone Pulse Followed by Oral Prednisone in Birdshot Chorioretinopathy.

Purpose: To report the outcomes of initial methylprednisolone pulse then oral prednisone in the treatment of birdshot chorioretinopathy (BSCR).

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 21 BSCR patients, treated with initial methylprednisolone, prednisone, or immunosuppressive therapy. Main outcome measures were changes in visual acuity, intraocular inflammation, concomitant immunosuppressive drug or intravitreal steroid, and adverse events.
