Abstract

Purpose: To present a patient with overlapping CHORIOCAPILLARITIS syndromes who first presented as a typical case of MULTIPLE EVANESCENT WHITE DOT SYNDROME (MEWDS) and later with characteristic findings compatible with multifocal choroiditis (MFC).Case Report: A 40-year-old myopic woman presented with a paracentral scotoma OS.Fundus examination revealed pale discolored areas around the optic disc corresponding to faintly hyperfluorescent areas on fluorescein angiography (FA). On indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) there was extensive peripapillary hypofluorescence and confluent hypofluorescent dots superiorly. According to the clinical picture, a diagnosis of MEWDS was made. In 4 weeks, the visual field reverted to normal together with almost complete regression of hypofluorescence on ICGA. However, 4 months later fundus examination revealed some scars, a finding not typical for MEWDS. Besides, she developed another scotoma 12 months later accompanied by photopsia and the fundus illustrated more numerous scars than one year earlier.ICGA showed hypofluorescent areas corresponding to the scotoma delineated by visual field testing. The pattern of this recurrence clearly corresponded to MFC.Conclusion: This case illustrates an overlap between two entities, MEWDS and MFC in two sequential episodes. FA and FUNDUS AUTOFLUORESCENCE accounted for the lesions and OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY showed damage to the photoreceptor outer segments, but only ICGA correlated well with functional evolution.
