Abstract

Central vision loss, photopsia, floaters, and macular edema in a highly myopic patient can easily be misinterpreted as high myopia complications. In atypical cases, detailed examination and a thorough diagnostic workup are required to establish the proper diagnosis, which is often beyond the scope of diagnoses initially considered.

Keywords: Birdshot chorioretinopathy; HLA‐A29 antigen; choroidal neovascularization; immunosuppressive agents; intravitreal injections; macular edema.
