Bilateral central serous chorioretinopathy post-COVID-19

Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved..

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) can result in many ocular manifestations. We report a rare case of bilateral central serous chorioretinopathy post-infection with COVID-19 in a 38-year-old woman who presented with bilateral blurred vision 1 month after infection with COVID-19. She reported fever, cough, and shortness of breath and was COVID-PCR positive. During her 10-day hospital stay, she received oxygen, antibiotics, heparin and corticosteroids intravenously and then orally. After her recovery from COVID-19, the patient developed progressive visual loss in both eyes: her corrected visual acuity was 3/10 in both eyes, the anterior segment was normal, and the vitreous was clear. Fundus examination, optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography showed bilateral serous retinal detachments. Her course was characterized by improvement in visual acuity and regression of the retinal detachments. Central serous chorioretinopathy can occur after COVID-19 infection due to the administration of corticosteroids; thus, ophthalmologic examination is essential to detect ocular involvement as early as possible.
