Branch retinal vein occlusion post severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccination
In this article, we report two patients who experienced the first onset of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) 3 days after the administration of the BNT162b2 (Pfizer–BioNTech) severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine. Case 1: A 50-year-old woman without any history of r...

Sumario: | In this article, we report two patients who experienced the first onset of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) 3 days after the administration of the BNT162b2 (Pfizer–BioNTech) severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine. Case 1: A 50-year-old woman without any history of retinal disease developed vision loss in her right eye 3 days after receiving the first dose of the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine. Case 2: A 56-year-old woman without any history of retinal disease developed vision loss in her right eye 3 days after receiving the first dose of the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine. Case 1: Temporal superior BRVO and secondary macular edema (ME) were observed in the patient's right eye. Her best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/25. Case 2: Temporal inferior BRVO and secondary ME were observed in the patient's right eye. Her BCVA was 13/20. Case 1: Three doses of intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) were administered. Case 2: Three doses of IVR were administered. Case 1: ME resolved and BCVA improved to 20/20. Case 2: ME resolved and BCVA improved to 20/20. Both the cases showed a possible association between the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and the first onset of BRVO. |
