title: [Multiple evanescent white dot syndrome].
abstract: MEWDS is a benign acquired disorder of the retinal pigment epithelium of unknown etiology which has been first described in 1984. Actually more than 50 cases have been reported worldwide but only 5 cases from Europe. We report 10 other cases of MEWDS, seen in the past 5 years. Their clinical presentation, perimetric and electroretinographic results, as well as their differential diagnosis will be reported.
