Inner retinal layer ischemia and vision loss after COVID-19 infection: A case report.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: COVID-19 infection may also occur with ocular manifestations. Paracentral acute middle maculopathy(PAMM) is a condition that causes ischemia in the inner retinal layers characterized by disruptions in capillary plexus flow. Also, ischemia in inner retinal layers secondary to COVID-19 infection has not yet been reported. CASE REPORT The case, presented with the complaint of gradually decreasing visual acuity in the right eye after COVID-19 infection. PAMM was suspected, however, ischemia was detected in all inner retinal layers with Optical coherence tomography angiography. DISCUSSION: We showed that it should be kept in mind that atypical retinal involvement of COVID-19 infection could present, with this case.
