AZOOR has been theorized to be associated with acute idiopathic blind-spot enlargement syndrome (AIBES), multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS), acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) and other white dot syndromes, as symptoms and findings can overlap; however, this has yet to be clearly determined.

Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) is a rare inflammatory eye condition affecting the outer retina as a consequence of choriocapillaris non perfusion. The pathophysiology of MEWDS will be discussed based clinical appraisal and on multimodal imaging appraisal.

Jun 26, 2017 · Some have suggested that AIBSE and AZOOR are multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) without the dots. AIBSE and AZOOR are less aggressive than the other white dot syndromes, and many patients with AIBSE/AZOOR will recover vision.

Purpose : To describe the clinical characteristics and clinical transitions between acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement (AIBSE), acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR), and multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) with longitudinal follow up.

Acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement (AIBSE) is often caused by Acute Zonal Occult Outer Retinopathy (AZOOR), an outer retinal disease. We report two illustrative cases of AZOOR. The first one was a 21-year-old white female who presented with …

AZOOR affects young to middle aged patients, is largely predominant in women, and starts with an acute onset of visual field defect in one or both eyes associated with photopsias, decrease of contrast sensitivity and photophobia.

Purpose: To report the longitudinal outcomes for AZOOR patients including treatment response, imaging evolution, and overlap with multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS). Methods: Visual acuity (VA) and visual field (VF) outcomes of occult and overt AZOOR patients were retrospectively compared between the first and final visits as well ...

Development of AZOOR may occur in patients with MEWDS, suggesting that the conditions may share a common genetic susceptibility and/or pathogenetic factor. Although the typical visual prognosis after MEWDS is excellent, subsequent diagnosis …

Jacobson et al 2 reported the electrophysiological findings in 24 patients with MEWDS, AIBSE, AMN, and P-POHS which they at the time grouped under the name AZOOR.

Although the typical visual prognosis after MEWDS is excellent, the development of subsequent multifocal choroiditis may portend a worse outcome. 3 Similarly, patients who are diagnosed as having AZOOR after MEWDS can experience foveal …
