Purpose: The study presents a case report and demonstrates the diagnostic difficulties with differentiating Multiple Evanescent White-Dot Syndrome (MEWDS), with other disorders.
Material and methods: A 29 years old male presented with a week history of photopsia and scotoma in his left eye. Diagnostic tests included: visual acuity, fundoscopy, automated perimetry, fluorescein angiography, multifocal electroretinogram, OCT, MR and blood tests. The attention was drawn by the numerous white dots in fundoscopy and punctate hyperfluorescence in the AF. The additional important information was given by the blood tests.
Conclusions: In the differential diagnosis we should take into consideration neuroretinitis and neurochorioretinitis of viral aetiology.
