Acute Macular Neuroretinopathy after SARS-CoV-2 Infection: An Analysis of Clinical and Multimodal Imaging Characteristics.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to analyze clinical and multimodal imaging characteristics of acute macular neuroretinopathy (AMN) post-recent severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.

Methods

Retrospective observational study. Medical records and multimodal imaging of 12 AMN eyes of eight patients (six female and two male) with recent SARS-CoV-2 infection were retrospectively analyzed.

Results

Four patients (50%) presented with bilateral AMN. Fundus ophthalmoscopy revealed a reddish-brown lesion around the macula, and two eyes had cotton-wool spots at the posterior pole. Three eyes showed mild hypo-autofluorescence. All FFA images (7 eyes) showed no abnormal signs. On OCT scans, all eyes showed outer nuclear layer (ONL) thinning, 8 eyes (66.
