1Southampton Eye Unit, University Hospital Southampton, Southampton, United Kingdom ; and.
Purpose:
To report a case of central retinal artery and common carotid artery occlusions following COVID-19 infection in a young woman with no other risk factors.
Methods:
Retrospective analysis of the medical records of a patient hospitalized with COVID 19 infection at the University Hospital Southampton.
Results:
The patient was found to have dural venous sinus thrombosis and an acute infarct within the right parietal lobe. There was an occlusive thrombus within the right common carotid artery. Subsequently, she was found to have a right central artery occlusion secondary to the right common carotid artery occlusion.
Conclusion:
COVID-19 infection can cause retinal artery occlusion through systemic thrombosis in previously healthy patients.
