Multiple transient white point syndrome

Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) was first reported by Jampol et al. In 1984. It is a rare, unexplained, multiple, white, punctate lesion located deep in the retina or retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and usually develops in one eye. It is more common in young women and has the characteristics of acute onset, short duration, good vision recovery, no systemic comorbidities and obvious sequelae. Some retinal pigment epithelium and / or choroidal inflammatory diseases, such as acute posterior pole multifocal squamous pigment epithelial lesions, punctate inner choroid lesions, shotgun-like retinal choroid lesions, multifocal choroiditis, and whole grapes Meningitis, ophthalmoid spore plasmosis syndrome, etc. can be manifested as white-spot-like fundus changes, but these types do not fall into the category of multiple easily dissipative white-spot syndromes.
