Multiple Evanescent White Dot Syndrome

Abstract

The multiple evanescent white dot syndrome is a distinct clinical entity initially described in 1984. Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome most often affects young myopic women who virtually always present with photopsias. The use of multimodal imaging is very helpful for establishing the diagnosis. Advancements with optical coherence tomography, wide-field fundus imaging, and fundus autofluorescence have emerged as useful and powerful tools for identifying and monitoring the disease.
