COVID-19-associated mixed cilioretinal artery occlusion and central venous occlusion in a fit and healthy young patient
Abstract
Retinal artery occlusion is an unusual phenomenon in younger patients without background of diseases leading to hypercoagulable states. COVID-19 infection is increasingly recognised as being associated with thrombotic conditions. We present a case of a young female who is otherwise fit and well apart from recent COVID-19 infection, who presented with a mixed cilioretinal artery and venous occlusion.
