Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) is a chorioretinopathy first reported by Jampol et al 1 and Sieving et al 2 in 1984. This disorder is preceded by a viral-like illness in about one third of cases and typically occurs in young myopic individuals, particularly women. There are no known racial or hereditary predilections. An association with HLA-B51 has been reported. 3Affected patients complain of sudden-onset vision loss accompanied by visual field defects in the form of paracentral scotomas or enlargement of the blind spot, sometimes associated with photopsias and dyschromatopsia. Although originally described as an acute, unilateral disorder with a self-limiting course and a rapid resolution of abnormalities, MEWDS can actually involve both eyes, recur, and be complicated by choroidal neovascularization and late development of chorioretinal scars. 4–7 Furthermore, MEWDS can be associated, preceded, or followed by other inflammatory conditions such as acute macular neuroretinopathy, 8 multifocal choroiditis, and panuveitis, 9, 10 or acute zonal occult outer retinopathy. 11
