  • Clinical description: Computable definition of SUN classification criteria for Birdshot chorioretinitis. This phenotype is of patients with a diagnosis or clinical findings of posterior uveitis consistent with birdshot chorioretinitis. This phenotype operationalizes the definition published by the SUN workgroup (PMID 33845003)

Criteria ([#’s 1, 2, and 3] OR # 4)

  1. Characteristic bilateral multifocal choroiditis on ophthalmoscopy
    a. Multifocal cream-colored or yellow-orange, oval or round choroidal lesions (“birdshot spots”)
    AND
  2. Absent to mild anterior chamber inflammation
    a. Absent to mild anterior chamber cells AND
    b. No keratic precipitates AND
    c. No posterior synechiae
    AND
  3. Absent to moderate vitritis
    OR
  4. Multifocal choroiditis with
    a. Positive HLA-A29 test AND either (b. or c.)
    b. Characteristic “birdshot” spots (multifocal cream-colored or yellow-orange, oval or round choroidal lesions) on ophthalmoscopy OR
    c. Characteristic indocyanine green angiogram (multifocal hypofluorescent spots) without characteristic “birdshot” spots on ophthalmoscopy
    Exclusions
  5. Positive serologic test for syphilis using a treponemal test
  6. Evidence of sarcoidosis (either bilateral hilar adenopathy on chest imaging or tissue biopsy demonstrating non-caseating granulomata)*
  7. Evidence of intraocular lymphoma on diagnostic vitrectomy or tissue biopsy
