Abstract

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.
