PURPOSE: To describe optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fluorescein angiography (FA) parameters at baseline examination of 80 subjects (160 eyes) in a longitudinal cohort study of birdshot chorioretinopathy and to compare these parameters with measures of visual function and clinical findings.DESIGN: Single-center cross-sectional study.METHODS: Comparisons were made between OCT and FA parameters. The existence of relationships was examined between three OCT parameters (macular thickness, status of the third highly reflective band [HRB], epiretinal membrane) and the following factors: best,corrected visual acuity (BCVA), symptoms, color confusion score (CCS), vitreous haze, retinal vasculitis, and birdshot lesion characteristics. Grade of vascular leakage by FA was compared with the same factors.RESULTS: There was not good agreement between macular edema identified by OCT vs FA (kappa, 0.37). On multivariate analyses, decreased BCVA was related to abnormal macular thickness (P
