A 16-year-old woman with mild myopia complained of blurred vision and photopsia of the right eye for 1 month. The patient had no particular medical or ocular histories.\nHer BCVA was 1.2 OU. Relative afferent pupillary defect was negative. Left eye was normal. Slit-lamp examination revealed no cells in the anterior chamber, but mild anterior vitreous cells OD. Funduscopic examination showed multiple, faint, small, subretinal white dots at the posterior pole to the midperiphery (, arrowheads), macular granularity, and retinal vascular sheathing at superotemporal midperiphery (, arrows). On FA, the hyperfluorescence was seen from the initial phase corresponding to the white dots (, arrowhead), with the staining of the optic disk and vascular leakages corresponding to the retinal vascular sheathing on the late phase (, arrow). On late-phase indocyanine green angiography, multiple spots of hypofluorescence were observed at the wider area despite no initial abnormal findings (, arrowheads). EDI-OCT revealed segmental loss of the ellipsoid zone at areas of the white dots (, arrows), and the SCT was 341 µm. Goldmann perimetry showed a mild blind spot enlargement of 5×10 degree OD and no abnormality OS. On Humphrey perimetry, MD value was −5.47 dB OD, and OS was unmeasured. In mfERG, entirely decreased amplitude except central normal amplitude was present OD, and the result was normal OS. Systemic screening, similar to what was done for Case 1, showed negative results. She was diagnosed as having MEWDS OD and was followed up with no treatment. One month later, white dots and retinal vasculitis spontaneously disappeared. Three months after the initial visit, the ellipsoid zone at the macula restored and the SCT decreased to 319 µm (). The BCVA remained unchanged. Twelve months after the initial visit, the MD value improved to −0.24 dB OD. Thereafter, there were no recurrences of MEWDS during follow up.
A 27-year-old woman with mild myopia presented with blurred vision and photopsia of the right eye for 2 weeks. She had no particular medical or ocular histories.\nThe patient’s best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 1.0 OD (oculus dexter) and 1.5 OS (oculus sinister). Relative afferent pupillary defect was negative. There were no abnormal ocular findings OS. Slit-lamp examination revealed no inflammation in the anterior chamber or vitreous. Funduscopic examination showed multiple, faint, subretinal white dots at the posterior pole to the equator and macular granular change (, arrowheads). In addition, retinal vascular sheathing was observed at the midperiphery (, arrows). Fluorescein angiography (FA) showed hyperfluorescence continuing from the initial phase corresponding to the white dots (, arrowheads) and the staining of the optic disk. The retinal sheathing sites showed vascular staining with leakages in the late-phase OD (, arrows). Indocyanine green angiography showed no abnormal appearance in the initial phase and multiple hypofluorescence at the wider area than the white dots (, arrowheads). Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) revealed the discontinuity of the ellipsoid zone at macular area OD (, arrows) and that the subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT) was 295 µm. Humphrey perimetry (30-2 Swedish threshold interactive algorithm standard test) showed a mild blind spot enlargement OU (oculus uterque) (mean deviation [MD] value: −1.83 dB OD and −1.08 dB OS). Multifocal electroretinography (mfERG) showed entirely decreased amplitude, except normal central amplitude OD, and mildly decreased amplitude at the retinal site that corresponded to the peripapillary area OS. Infection screening, including tuberculosis, syphilis, human T-cell leukemia virus type 1, and toxoplasmosis, showed negative results on QuantiFERON and serological testing or with antibodies for these agents. The chest X-ray was normal and serum angiotensin-converting enzyme was within normal limit. The patient received a diagnosis of MEWDS OD and was followed up with no treatment. One month after the first visit, the white dots and retinal vascular sheathing spontaneously resolved. After 3 months, the ellipsoid zone at the macula restored and the SCT decreased to 237 µm, together with increased BCVA of 1.5 OD (). On Humphrey perimetry, the MD value improved to −0.28 dB OD and −0.69 dB OS.
