Zusammenfassung: | A 38-year-old male patient experienced a unilateral visual acuity decrease to 20/60 and showed white dots at the level of the retinal pigment epithelial interface characteristic of multiple evanescent white dot-syndrome. Fluorescein angiography demonstrated early hyperfluorescent defects and some late staining. In spite of improvement of the visual acuity and the alterations of the fundus, an enlargement of the blind spot and some sharply demarcated depigmentations of the retinal pigment epithelium remain. This case shows, that already at the beginning of symptoms the characteristic white dots may be present. Enlargement of the blind spot and depigmentations of the retinal pigment epithelium may remain as defects after multiple evanescent white dot-syndrome. |
