Article Synopsis
- A 16-year-old female experienced blurred vision in her left eye and was diagnosed with possible multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) secondary to acute retinal pigment epitheliitis (ARPE) after evaluation at the ophthalmology department.
- Initial tests showed significant differences in visual acuity between her eyes, with abnormalities in retinal structure identified through imaging techniques like optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus autofluorescence (FAF).
- After a two-week period with no treatment, her visual acuity improved and retinal abnormalities resolved, but there was an increase in white spots observed, indicating the complex nature of the two conditions—ARPE and MEWDS—making them potentially difficult to differentiate.
