White dots appear early in the disease stages of punctate inner choroiditis and multiple evanescent white dot syndrome. In this case, the white dot is localized in the posterior pole, small (between 25 and 100 μm), and do not clump together. [7] In contrast, white dots appear later in the disease stages of birdshot choroidopathy, serpiginous ...
These lesions may be colored from grey-white to cream-shaded yellow. Other symptoms include scotomata and photopsia . In weeks to a month times the lesions begin to clear and disappear (with prednisone) leaving behind areas of retinal pigment epithelial atrophy and diffuse fine pigmentation (scarring).
The etiology of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome is currently unknown but two potential origins have been postulated. Gass, et. al. suggests a virus invades retinal photoreceptors through cell-to-cell transmission via either the ora serrata or optic disc margin. [3]
Yellow lesions are mainly present in the posterior pole and are between 100 and 300 micrometres in size. PIC is one of the so-called White Dot Syndromes. PIC has only been recognised as a distinct condition as recently as 1984 when Watzke identified 10 patients who appeared to make up a distinct group within the White Dot Syndromes.
In some of these cases, the presentation in the eye is characteristic of a described syndrome, which are called white dot syndromes, and include the following diagnoses: acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy; birdshot chorioretinopathy; multifocal choroiditis and panuveitis; multiple evanescent white dot syndrome
A gang member “giggled” as he admitted to kidnapping a young Texas woman at gunpoint and threatening to pimp her out and sell her organs, according to cops.
Visual snow syndrome (VSS) is an uncommon neurological condition in which the primary symptom is that affected individuals see persistent flickering white, black, transparent, or colored dots across the whole visual field. [7] [4] Other common symptoms are palinopsia, enhanced entoptic phenomena, photophobia, and tension headaches.
