Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome masquerading as atypical optic neuritis: a case report
Patients with multiple evanescent white dot syndrome who present with disc swelling, ocular pain, and relative afferent pupillary defect might be misdiagnosed as having optic neuritis. In atypical optic neuritis, en face optical coherence tomography, blue-light fundus autofluorescence, and swept-source optical coherence tomography can aid in the differential diagnosis.
