Abstract

Birdshot chorioretinopathy (BCR) is an uncommon bilateral posterior uveitis, resulting in characteristic cream-coloured spots scattered across the fundus resembling the pattern of birdshot from a gun. Typically, the condition is diagnosed in middle-aged individuals of Northern European descent. We report the case of a 48-year-old male Filipino patient with BCR. The presenting symptoms, examination findings, and investigations confirming the diagnosis are outlined. Treatment and subsequent clinical course are also described. To our knowledge, this is the first report of BCR in a Filipino patient. The diagnosis should be considered in all patients based on clinical and investigative findings. Awareness that the disease is not limited to those of Northern European descent is important to avoid delays in diagnosis and institute treatment to preserve visual function.
