Scope note: Forma de coriorretinitis caracterizada por múltiples lesiones pequeñas de color crema, dispersas de forma simétrica principalmente alrededor del DISCO ÓPTICO. Estas lesiones son el signo más distintivo y a menudo aparecen a la altura del EPITELIO PIGMENTADO DE LA RETINA, pero a veces sugieren una infiltración aún más profunda y en último término pueden causar pérdida visual. Se ha observado una asociación con el antígeno HLA-A29 (ver ANTÍGENOS HLA-A) en casi todos los pacientes.

Scope note: A form of chorioretinitis characterized by multiple small, cream-colored LESIONS, symmetrically scattered mainly around the OPTIC DISK. These lesions are the most distinctive sign and often appear at the level of the RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM but, on occasion, suggest an even deeper infiltration and may ultimately lead to visual loss. An association with HLA-A29 antigen (see HLA-A ANTIGENS) has been observed in nearly all patients.
