Fig. 1. Fundoscopic and Optical Coherence Tomography findings in patients with Covid-19-related AMN.
a, b Case 1. Optical coherence tomography (OCT): bilateral hyper-reflective bands in the outer plexiform layer (OPL) associated with loss of volume in the outer nuclear layer (ONL) and disruption to the ellipsoid zone in right eye (RE) and left eye (LE), respectively, c, d Case 2. Fundus photograph shows RPE changes. Infrared fundus photography reveals dark gray perifoveal lesions and OCT scans show thickening of the OPL and volume loss in the ONL nasal to the fovea associated with disruption of the interdigitation zone in RE and LE, respectively, e: Case 3. LE Fundus autofluorescence appears normal while OCT demonstrates hyper-reflective band at the level of OPL.
