Abstract

Multiple Evanescent White Dot Syndrome is a syndrome presenting with unilateral decrease in visual acuity, multiple white dots at level of retina pigment epithelium and outer layers of retina together with macu-lar granular lesions and a mild vitritis and iritis. In this article a case of bliateral MEWDS who was HLA B-51 positive is presented. CASE: A 37 years old woman with bilateral decrease in visual acuity has a history of oral ulcers, dermatolo-gic lesions and arthritic symptoms. Fundoscopic examination revealed bilateral multiple white dots and a serous macular detachment in the left eye. Laboratory investigations demonstrated that the patient was HLA B-51 positive. The patient was followed without systemic treatment. The retinal lesions disappeared and the visual acuities returned to normal in a 5-6 weeks period. RESULT: The extraocular symptoms appearing prior to the visual symptoms and the patient's positivity for HLA B-51 may indicate the autoimmune character of the disease.

Özet

Multiple Evanescent White Dot Sendromu (MEWDS) genellikle tek taraflı görme azalması, retina pigment epiteli ve retinanın derin tabakalarında çok sayıda beyaz lekelerle birlikte, makulada granuler görünüm ile hafif vitritis ve iritisin bulunabildiği bir sendromdur. Bu makalede HLA B-51 pozitifliği /Olan bilateral bir MEWDS olgusu tartışılmıştır. / OLGU-.37 yaşında kadın hasta her iki gözde görme azalması şikayetiyle başvurdu. Öyküsünde oral aftları, cilt lezyonları ve artritik semptomları vardı. Fundus muayenesinde sol gözde makulada seröz tipte dekol-manla birlikte bilateral çok sayıda beyaz lekeler mevcuttu. Yapılan tetkiler içinde HLA B -51 pozitifliği saptandı. Hasta sistemik tedavi verilmeden izlendi ve 5-6 hafta içinde lezyonların kaybolduğu, görme düzeylerinin normale döndüğü gözlendi. SONUÇ:Hastamızda görsel şikayetlerden önce başlayan ekstraoküler semptomların varlığı ve HLA B-51 pozitifliği hastalığın otoimmün karakterine işaret edebilir.
