title: [Birdshot chorioretinopathy: systemic therapy with corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs].
abstract: The symptoms and clinical course of a case of birdshot chorioretinopathy are described. The patient was a 40-year-old woman. The condition can be treated with two types of medication, i.e., steroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Both appear to have a beneficial effect. Overall, however, the prognosis for this rare disease of unknown etiology remains uncertain. Given the slow progressive course, with spontaneous remissions and exacerbations, it is extremely difficult to evaluate the success of different forms of therapy.
