White Dot Syndromes

Preferred Label : White Dot Syndromes;

MeSH definition : A group of idiopathic multifocal posterior uveitis syndromes involving the CHOROID; RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM; and RETINA. They are characterized by multiple lesions of hypoautofluorescent dots in the FUNDUS OCULI and reduced VISUAL ACUITY. Several entities including BIRDSHOT CHORIORETINOPATHY are HLA-A ANTIGENS serotype A29 positive.;

Définition CISMeF : White dot syndromes are inflammatory diseases characterized by the presence of white dots on the fundus, the interior surface of the eye. The majority of individuals affected with white dot syndromes are younger than fifty years of age. Some symptoms include blurred vision and visual field loss. There are many theories for the etiology of white dot syndromes including infectious, viral, genetics and autoimmune. Classically recognized white dot syndromes include: Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE); Birdshot chorioretinopathy; Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS); Acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) Multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis (MCP) Punctate inner choroiditis (PIC); Serpiginous choroiditis (source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_dot_syndromes).;
