Overview
Autoimmune retinopathy should be differentiated from retinal vascular diseases such as Behçet and systemic lupus erythematosus, white-dot syndrome spectrum disorders (particularly acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR)), retinal degenerative disorders (such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and cone-rod dystrophy), and non-infectious and infectious uveitis syndromes.
Differentiating Autoimmune Retinopathy from other Diseases
In early stages of autoimmune retinopathy (AIR), the visual acuity is preserved, but it progressively gets worse. Patients report of transient dimming of the vision, which may be mistaken for other retinal vascular diseases such as Behçet and systemic lupus erythematosus. [1]
Other differential diagnosis of AIR include: white-dot syndrome spectrum disorders (particularly acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR)), retinal degenerative disorders (such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and cone-rod dystrophy), and non-infectious and infectious uveitis syndromes.
Due to the presence of anti-retinal antibodies, and overlapping findings and symptoms, it is difficult to differentiate between retinitis pigmentosa and autoimmune retinopathy. [2]
