The authors report a series of 16 cases of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) in Northern Ireland (NI) to characterise the genetic patterns and identify other common characteristics relevant for current and future practice. This was a retrospective study including 12...
Birdshot retinochoroiditis
Birdshot retinochoroiditis (BRC) is a chronic, sight-threatening uveitis, most commonly affecting caucasian individuals in their fourth to sixth decades [1]. The disease is associated with HLA-29 and is characterised by progressive inflammation at the level of retina and choroid, with...Chorioretinal atrophy in punctate inner choroidopathy / multifocal choroiditis
