Peripapillary atrophy in patients with birdshot chorioretinitis.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

This study aims to analyse peripapillary atrophy (PPA), its frequency, extent and relation with measures of visual function in patients with birdshot chorioretinitis (BSCR).

Methods

Patients of the single-centre prospective COhort of patients with BIRDshot chorioretinitis (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05153057) were included. The areas of the optic nerve head (ONH) and PPA were measured on red-green and autofluorescence fundus images acquired by ultrawidefield retinal photography. The main outcome measure was the frequency of PPA. Correlations between the PPA/ONH ratio and disease duration, age, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and visual field results (mean deviation (MD) and the pattern SD (PSD)-Humphrey perimeter 30-2) were evaluated using the Spearman coeffi
