Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) is a rare condition diagnosed in a 45-year-old woman presenting with visual disturbances. This case report reviews literature and discusses differential diagnoses for MEWDS.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Diseases
  • Neuro-ophthalmology

Background:

  • Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) is an idiopathic inflammatory condition affecting the outer retina and retinal pigment epithelium.
  • It is characterized by transient visual disturbances and characteristic funduscopic findings.

Observation:

  • A 45-year-old woman presented with diminished visual acuity.
  • Funduscopic examination revealed multiple yellowish-white dots in the paramacular area and macular granularity in the right eye (OD).

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with multiple evanescent white dot syndrome based on clinical presentation.
  • Literature review and comparison with previously reported cases were performed.
  • Differential diagnosis was considered against other white dot syndromes and retinal inflammatory conditions.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the understanding of MEWDS presentation and diagnosis.
  • Highlights the importance of considering MEWDS in patients with acute visual changes and specific funduscopic findings.
  • Emphasizes the need for thorough differential diagnosis in managing white dot syndromes.
