Abstract:
Birdshot chorioretinopathy, also known as vitiliginous chorioretinitis, is a rare and serious retinochoroidopathy. We describe a case in a patient with long-standing typical psoriasis. To our knowledge this association has not been previously reported in the dermatologic literature. Both psoriasis and chorioretinitis appeared to respond to aromatic retinoids. The incidence of birdshot chorioretinopathy in patients with psoriasis should be assessed.
