Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Diseases
  • Neuro-ophthalmology

Context:

  • Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) is a rare, benign, acquired disorder affecting the retinal pigment epithelium.
  • First described in 1984, over 50 cases are reported globally, with only 5 originating from Europe.
  • This study focuses on a cohort of 10 MEWDS cases observed in Europe over the last five years.

Purpose:

  • To report and analyze 10 additional cases of MEWDS from Europe.
  • To detail the clinical presentation, perimetric findings, and electroretinographic results in these patients.
  • To discuss the differential diagnosis of MEWDS.

Summary:

  • Ten new cases of MEWDS, a rare retinal pigment epithelium disorder, are presented from a European cohort.
  • The study details clinical, visual field, and electroretinographic data.
  • Differential diagnoses for MEWDS are also explored.

Impact:

  • Increases the number of reported European MEWDS cases, aiding in understanding its geographical distribution.
  • Provides valuable clinical data for diagnosing and managing MEWDS.
  • Contributes to the broader scientific literature on white dot syndromes.
