This report concerns four patients who exhibited characteristic ocular signs of Birdshot retinochoroidopathy and were diagnosed as suffering from sarcoidosis on the basis of histological evaluation of lymph node biopsy. The findings in the present series suggest that sarcoidosis may be one of the cause of birdshot retinochoroidopathy. Two patients exhibited reddish appear-ance of the posterior fundus (“sunset-glow” fundus). This report suggests when “sunset-glow” fundus is seen in the patient with uveitis, the presence of sarcoidosis should be considered besides that of Harada's disease and sympathetic ophthalmia.
