FERNANDEZ-BARRIENTOS, Y.; DIAZ-VALLE, D.; MENDEZ-FERNANDEZ, R. e BENITEZ-DEL-CASTILLO, J.M.. Possible recurrent multiple evanescent white dot syndrome and chroroidal neovascularization. Arch Soc Esp Oftalmol [online]. 2007, vol.82, n.9, pp.587-590. ISSN 0365-6691.
Case report: We present an unusual case of recurrent and bilateral multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS), who had three bilateral episodes in a period of nine years. Thirteen years after the first episode, she was diagnosed with subretinal neovascularization (SRNV) which showed a satisfactory response to photodynamic therapy, with a final visual acuity of 20/40. Discussion: MEWDS is considered classically to be an inflammatory disease with a good visual prognosis. Although the development of SRNV is unusual, we recommend long term follow-up of these patients since the early diagnosis and treatment of SRNV are both relevant for the retention of visual acuity.
