title: Simultaneous appearance of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome and multifocal choroiditis indicate a common causal relationship.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report simultaneous occurrence of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) and multifocal choroiditis (MFC) in the same eye of a 33-year-old Caucasian woman.
  
  
  METHODS
  Review of clinical and fluorescein angiographic features of a patient who presented with decreased visual acuity and was followed for 3 months.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Patient presented with concurrent lesions of MEWDS and MFC occurring in the same eye. During the follow-up period MEWDS lesions resolved and MFC lesions evolved into chorioretinal scars.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Simultaneous development of MEWDS and MFC may indicate a possible common causal entity.
