White Dot Syndromes

The spectrum of white dot syndromes are characterised by hypopigmented inflammatory lesions of the outer retina, RPE, choriocapillaris and/or choroid.

White dot syndromes have associated symptoms of blurred vision, floaters, photopsias, and scotoma and some also show retinal and/or vitreal signs of inflammation. Multimodal imaging is useful in distinguishing between the disease identities within the group of white dot syndromes.

Within this resource, we will explore the key white dot syndromes and illustrate the clinical characteristics of each using multimodal imaging.
