Nasal vein occlusion after COVID-19: A case report

ABSTRACT

To present a case of nasal vein occlusion that has not been reported after the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid?19) pandemic. A 53?year?old patient reported a complaint of floaters after a recent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS?CoV?2) infection. His best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/20 for both the eyes. On examination, a flame?shaped hemorrhage was observed in the left eye around the infero?nasal area adjacent to the optic disc. Temporal branch vein occlusion has been widely reported in association with SARS?CoV?2 infection. We emphasize that nasal vein occlusions triggered by Covid?19, which do not cause vision loss, should also be considered.
