Acute Macular Neuroretinopathy and Multiple Evanescent White Dot Syndrome Occurring in the Same Patients

An electrophysiological follow-up study on acquired unilateral nyctalopia

“…27 -29 These diseases occurred in young and middle-aged, mostly female, patients and were characterised by unilateral idiopathic retinal and choroidal diseases with an abnormality in the ERGs. Gass 28 ,29 has hypothesised that these diseases represent parts of the spectrum of one disease, or are at least somehow linked. We think that our patient's condition could be distinguished from other idiopathic retinal diseases by ocular manifestations, especially the ERG.…”

Association of Peripapillary Scars with Lesions Characteristic of Multiple Evanescent White-Dot Syndrome

“…They can also be associated with AIBES, where electroretinographic abnormalities also occur some times [3][4][5], These two syndromes are not associated with circumpapillary and/or chorioretinal alterations which, whenever they follow an initial optic disk swelling, typical ly characterize the POHS [6]. Optic disk swelling occurred twice in the right eye of our patient whereas ophthalmo scopic and fluorangiographic signs of peripapillary damage were also encountered in the left.…”

Expanded Clinical Spectrum of Multiple Evanescent White Dot Syndrome With Multimodal Imaging

“…We found evidence of bilaterality in only two patients based on ICGA and en face OCT imaging. Previous reports have described bilaterality, 1,4,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] although the involvement of the second eye was mild. Li and Kishi 19 performed functional tests such as multifocal electroretinogram and full-field electroretinogram, proving bilateral dysfunction of photoreceptors in most of the MEWDS cases they studied.…”

“…To date, at least 22 cases of bilateral involvement have been described with no apparent difference from unilateral cases. 1,4,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Secondary choroidal neovascularization has been reported, 23 but only one case was described with choroidal neovascularization secondary to a typical MEWDS clinical presentation. 24 Recurrent episodes (one or more) have also been reported in 12 cases of MEWDS.…”
