white dot syndromes/edema

A patient with serpiginous choroidopathy had decreased visual acuity and cystoid macular edema. He was treated with acetazolamide, a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. After 2 weeks of treatment, the patient's visual acuity improved and there was complete resolution of the cystoid macular edema.

OBJECTIVE To report a case of unilateral late-presenting acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) with CME evaluated before and after administration of IVTA. METHODS A 29-year-old male diagnosed as APMPPE with CME was treated with IVTA. RESULTS Fundus examination revealed

OBJECTIVE To report a case of acute macular neuroretinopathy occurring after intravitreal ranibizumab injection for diabetic macular edema. METHODS Observational clinical case report. RESULTS The patient received an intravitreal ranibizumab (0.3 mg) injection for diabetic macular edema. Three days

OBJECTIVE To report the effect of a single intravitreal injection of ranibizumab in a patient with choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS). METHODS A 65-year-old woman with visual acuity (VA) 20/40, mild vitreous inflammation, optic disc edema,

This report describes a 19-year-old patient with the rare association of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) and choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Despite the initial diagnosis of MEWDS, her vision significantly decreased. Fluorescein angiography showed dye leakage and pooling at the

Three patients had documented fundus changes conforming to those of the recently described multiple evanescent white dot (MEWD) syndrome. All three patients were unilaterally affected with variously sized, soft, single, and coalescent white lesions at the level of the RPE and the deep retina.

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) is a self-limited ocular disease with a favorable visual outcome. Regarding its pathogenesis, there is increasing evidence of a vascular disorder of the precapillary choroidal arterioles that causes ischemic edema of the overlying

BACKGROUND Inflammation of the optic nerve associated with central retinal vein occlusion is a well-documented disorder known as papillophlebitis, which occurs in young adults. OBJECTIVE To report two cases of serpiginous choroidopathy complicated by retinal vein occlusion in association with

OBJECTIVE To report spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) findings in acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE). METHODS Prospective, observational case report. METHODS Complete ophthalmologic examination, including fluorescein angiography and SD

We describe the course of MEWDS (multiple evanescent white dot syndrome) in 2 young females. The first patient presented with a very pronounced macular edema. The second patient had merely optic disc edema. Both had an enlargement of the blind spot, which normalized later. Only the granular aspect

BACKGROUND We report a case of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) and the associated spatio-temporal pathologic findings of this disease. METHODS A 29-year-old woman with bilateral recurrent APMPPE. METHODS The patient complained of bilateral blurred vision. The

OBJECTIVE To investigate optical coherence tomography (OCT) characteristics of tuberculous serpiginous-like choroiditis (Tb-SLC) and serpiginous choroiditis (SC) and to perform OCT to differentiate between these conditions. METHODS This retrospective, case-control study examined consecutively

Background: Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have a higher incidence of uveitis compared with the general population. Fingolimod, a first line disease modifying drug used in multiple sclerosis, may cause macular edema and thus
