title: Restoration of retinal architecture following systemic immunosuppression in birdshot chorioretinopathy.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe restoration of retinal architecture following systemic immunosuppressive treatment in a patient with birdshot chorioretinopathy (BSCR).
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report.
  
  
  METHODS
  A patient with BSCR and vitritis, reduced electroretinographic responses, and a constricted visual field was treated with prednisone and mycophenolate mofetil.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) at baseline demonstrated a disruption of retinal architecture. After 4 months of treatment retinal architecture, as visualized on SD-OCT, was restored to normal.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Treatment of BSCR with systemic immunosuppression can result in restoration of disrupted retinal architecture. This structural improvement can be visualized and assessed using SD-OCT.
