Purpose:
We describe the association between active ocular toxoplasmosis and Multiple Evanescent White Dot Syndrome (MEWDS).
Patients And Methods:
Retrospective observational case report of a patient who presented with concomitant ocular toxoplasmosis and MEWDS (Erasmus University Hospital, Brussels, Belgium). Clinical record and multimodal imaging including fundus autofluorescence (FAF), fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) were analyzed.
Results:
Multimodal imaging of a 25-year-old-woman that presented with concomitant active ocular toxoplasmosis and MEWDS is described. Both clinical entities regressed completely after 8 weeks under steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics.
Conclusion:
Active ocular toxoplasmosis can be associated with simultaneous multiple evanescent white dot syndrome. Further reports are needed to precise and characterize this clinical relationship and its management.Abbreviations: MEWDS: Multiple Evanescent White Dot Syndrome; Fundus Autofluorescence FAF; BCVA: Best-corrected Visual Acuity; FA: Fluorescein Angiography; ICGA: Indocyanine Green Angiography; SD-OCT: Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography; IR: Infrared.
