Abstract
PURPOSE
We report a case of subfoveal choroidal neovascularization following multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS). METHODS: A 28-year-old female patient with vitreous floater and scotoma of her right eye was diagnosed with MEWDS. Fundus examination revealed multiple white dots at midperipheral retina, and a granular appearance of macular, which were nearly subsided at 1 month after her first visit. She complained of a sudden decrease in visual acuity of right eye at 3 months after her initial episode of MEWDS. Fundus examination showed macular hemorrhage with edema. Typical subfoveal choroidal neovascularization with leakage was confirmed by Indocyanine Green Angiography (ICGA), which was treated by photodynamic therapy (PDT). RESULTS: Subfoveal choroidal neovascularization following MEWDS is rare, and this is the first Korean case report.
Key Words: Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA);Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS);Photodynamic therapy (PDT);Subfoveal choroidal neovascularization
