Abstract
To report the appearance of birdshot retinochoroidopathy in a patient with myelodysplasia syndrome. Case report of a healthy 62-year-old woman who was fortuitously noted to have multiple atrophic spots in the posterior choroid and retina of each eye. Subsequent medical evaluation included a blood cell count that disclosed pancytopenia, with a diagnosis of myelodysplasia made on bone marrow examination. An autoimmune response associated with the underlying myelodysplasia may be responsible for the appearance of atrophic retinal and choroidal lesions resembling birdshot retinochoroidopathy.
