Abstract

A 53-year-old man presented with acute loss of vision, negative scotoma and dyschromatopsia in his left eye. He reported contact with people with severe respiratory syndrome - coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) 8 days prior symptoms. Funduscopic examination revealed several retinal hemorrhages. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography showed lesions consistent with acute macular neuroretinopathy and paracentral acute middle maculopathy. Quickly after his presentation, SARSCov-2 was confirmed by chest computed tomography-scan and RT-PCR in this patient. Thrombotic complications associated with Covid-19 infection have high incidence and may involve the retina. We described a case of retinal involvement associated with Covid-19 infection. Funduscopic examination revealed retinal hemorrhages in a man with loss of vision. Optical coherence tomography showed an acute macular neuroretinopathy and paracentral acute middle maculopathy. Coronavirus disease was confirmed by chest computed tomography-scan and RT-PCR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
