Central retinal artery occlusion in a patient who contracted COVID-19 and review of similar cases

A 54-year-old male patient applied to our clinic with a sudden and painless loss of vision in his right eye. He was suffering from COVID-19. His best-corrected visual acuity of the right eye was finger counting from 30 cm. The fundus examination revealed the presence of a ‘cherry-red spot’ appearanc...

description A 54-year-old male patient applied to our clinic with a sudden and painless loss of vision in his right eye. He was suffering from COVID-19. His best-corrected visual acuity of the right eye was finger counting from 30 cm. The fundus examination revealed the presence of a ‘cherry-red spot’ appearance in the right eye. In optical coherence tomography imaging, hyper-reflectivity was observed in the inner retinal layers as well as increased retinal thickness in the right eye. In fundus fluorescein angiography, delayed arterial filling and prolonged arteriovenous transit time were observed in the right eye. The patient was diagnosed with central retinal artery occlusion after the COVID-19 infection. In this study, we report this case and its management.
