Central retinal vein occlusion with COVID-19 infection as the presumptive etiology

Abstract

Thromboembolic phenomenon related to Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been well documented in literature; however, reported ocular manifestations of COVID-19 are limited to vision sparing ocular conditions like conjunctivitis. We report a case of a 17-year-old female who presented to us with central retinal vein occlusion with proven recent past COVID-19 infection as presumed etiology which was not known to her at the time of presentation.
