Abstract

Purpose: This work describes a case of multiple evanescent white-dot syndrome (MEWDS) in a 9-year-old girl.

Methods: A case report is presented.

Results: A case of MEWDS in a 9-year-old girl is described.

Conclusions: To our knowledge this is the youngest presentation of MEWDS discussed in the literature. MEWDS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ocular inflammation in the first decade of life.

Keywords: multiple evanescent white-dot syndrome (MEWDS); ocular inflammation; pediatrics; uveitis.
