Anterior ischemic optic neuropathy as a rare manifestation of COVID-19: a case report
Aim: A variety of manifestations in different organs could be associated with severe COVID-19; for example, ocular manifestations. Case report: A 52-year-old male complaining of sudden onset unilateral painless vision loss in the right eye for 1 month (started just 1 week after COVID-19 remission) c...

description | Aim: A variety of manifestations in different organs could be associated with severe COVID-19; for example, ocular manifestations. Case report: A 52-year-old male complaining of sudden onset unilateral painless vision loss in the right eye for 1 month (started just 1 week after COVID-19 remission) came to the ophthalmology clinic. On further evaluations, he was diagnosed with anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION). Considering his past history and the result of evaluations, the hypothesis of association between AION and COVID-19 was proposed. Results & discussion: Ocular and neurologic manifestations of COVID-19 are more likely to happen in patients with more severe conditions. Complications occur secondary to two basic mechanisms including severe inflammatory response and hypercoagulable state. Conclusion: Our findings indicated that non-arteritic AION is another manifestation of microangiopathic/thrombotic events which may occur in the course of COVID-19. |
