Overview
Autoimmune retinopathy is bilateral and may be asymmetric. Funduscopic changes include, retinal vasculature attenuation, diffuse retinal atrophy, mottling of the retinal pigment epithelium and optic disc pallor. There may also be constriction of the visual field with central or paracentral scotomas.
Physical Examination
Autoimmune retinopathy is bilateral and may be asymmetric.
Initially there is little to no intraocular inflammation and the funduscopic examination is unremarkable. With time, several funduscopic changes may be observed.
These changes include, retinal vasculature attenuation, diffuse retinal atrophy, mottling of the retinal pigment epithelium and optic disc pallor. [1]
Visual field testing shows constriction and central or paracentral scotomas. [2]
