Purpose:
This work reports a case of long-standing punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) presenting with acute-onset multiple evanescent white dot syndrome.
Methods:
A 44 year-old man presented with new onset of flashes and a peripheral spot of blurry vision in the right eye. His ocular history included PIC in both eyes.
Results:
Corrected visual acuities and intraocular pressures were normal. Posterior segment examination of the right eye demonstrated old PIC lesions and new, deep-yellow lesions in the posterior pole and midperiphery. Four months later, these lesions had resolved.
Conclusions:
Coexistence of PIC and multiple evanescent white dot syndrome has been rarely reported, and more research is warranted to investigate a possible shared etiology.
