Utility of fundus auto fluorescence imaging in multiple evanescent white dot syndrome with blind spot enlargement
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: We present a case of multiple evanescent white dot syndromes (MEWDS) in a 42-year-old man. The enlarged blind spot was accompanied by no definite abnormal funduscopic findings. However, multiple hyper-auto fluorescent spots in the peripapillary region were clearly detected examined by fundus auto fluorescence (FAF) imaging. Two months later, the enlarged blind spot and multiple hyper-auto fluorescent spots were returned to normal aspect. FAF in MEWDS is an useful noninvasive diagnostic examination to identify the disease. Keywords: multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, blind spot enlargement, fundus auto fluorescence imaging
