Abstract EN
Inflammatory conditions that affect the posterior pole are diverse.
Specifically, birdshot chorioretinopathy and the white dot syndromes present with multiple white dots in the fundus.
These diseases appear to affect similar age groups but there is question as to whether or not a difference exists between the genders.
This review summarizes the current studies on birdshot chorioretinopathy and the white dot syndromes as they are related to gender, exploring the differences, if any, which may exist between prevalence, clinical presentation, and treatment response for these diseases.
Though the specific etiology of these diseases remains unclear, future treatments may be guided as to how these diseases affect the sexes differently.
