Acute macular neuroretinopathy and multiple evanescent white dot syndrome occurring in the same patients

A young woman developed acute macular neuroretinopathy in one eye and five
years later developed the multiple evanescent white dot syndrome in the
same eye. Another young woman developed unilateral multiple evanescent
white dot syndrome and central macular lesions typical of acute macular
neuroretinopathy that appeared soon after the peripheral macular and
juxtapapillary white lesions resolved. The findings in these two patients
suggest that these two relatively rare syndromes may have pathogenetic and
etiologic features in common.
