E. Tsukamoto et al., Hypofluorescent spots on indocyanine green angiography at the recovery stage in multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, OPHTHALMOLA, 213(5), 1999, pp. 336-338
Purpose: To evaluate the fundus lesions in a young woman. Methods: Visual f
unction, ophthalmoscopy, electrophysiology, fluorescein angiography, and in
docyanine green angiography were performed. Results: A 24-year-old woman ha
d decreased visual acuity (0.2), granularity in the macula, and multiple ye
llow-white patches in the fundus, reduced a wave on electroretinography, hy
perfluorescence on fluorescein angiography, and hypofluorescence on indocya
nine green angiography in the left eye. When visual acuity improved to 1.0,
the white dots disappeared ophthalmoscopically, and fluorescein angiograph
y showed normal findings. Hypo-fluorescent spots were found, however, on in
docyanine green angiography. Conclusion: it is possible that signs of multi
ple evanescent white dot syndrome may remain longer during examination by i
ndocyanine green angiography than by visual function, ophthalmoscopy, or fl
uorescein angiography.
