[Acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement syndrome associated with choroidal neovascularization]

A 17 year old female consulting due to photopsia and a sudden loss of visual field in left eye (OS), with previous contralateral choroidal neovascularization. The examination suggested an acute idiopathic blind spot syndrome. The progress without treatment was favorable, with a reduction in the scotoma and without a worsening of her visual acuity.

This case report is about an unusual and benign syndrome, typical of young women. Differential diagnosis must be made between the evanescent white dot syndrome and the acute zonal occult outer retinopathy. To our knowledge, this is the first published case associated with choroidal neovascularization, a fact that leads us to question its benignancy.
