Unique case of central retinal artery occlusion secondary to COVID-19 disease

Sudeep Acharya et al. IDCases. 2020.

Abstract

SARS-COVID-2 has been noted to be associated with neurological symptoms and complications including stroke. Hypercoagulability associated with COVID-19 has been described as a "sepsis-induced coagulopathy" and may predispose to spectrum of thromboembolic events. We present a unique article of isolated central retinal artery occlusion secondary to SARS-COV 2.

Keywords: COVID-19; Infectious disease; Sepsis.
