Combined retinal vascular occlusion in a recovered case of COVID-19
Hypercoagulability in COVID-19 can be described as a “sepsis-induced coagulopathy” and may be a precursor for thromboembolic events. There are other reported milder ocular manifestations of COVID-19 disease such as conjunctivitis, as well as a few reported central retinal vein occlusions (CRVOs), co...

| Summary: | Hypercoagulability in COVID-19 can be described as a “sepsis-induced coagulopathy” and may be a precursor for thromboembolic events. There are other reported milder ocular manifestations of COVID-19 disease such as conjunctivitis, as well as a few reported central retinal vein occlusions (CRVOs), combined retinal vascular occlusion has never been reported. We report the case of a 66-year-old male, who presented to us with combined central retinal artery occlusion and CRVO with proven COVID-19 infection, diagnosed after presentation. |
