Bilateral Perivascular Chorioretinal Atrophy Resembling Pigmented Paravenous Chorioretinal Atrophy Post COVID-19 Infection: A Case Report and Comprehensive Immune Profiling.

ABSTRACT: The pandemic of COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is ongoing and a serious menace to global public health. An ocular manifestation is an initial sign of the infection. To date, a comprehensive immune profile of patients with mild COVID-19 has not been well developed. Here, we report a 53-year-old female who noticed a sudden decrease in visual acuity (VA) in both eyes on the fourth day after COVID-19 infection. At presentation (acute phase), the best-corrected VA (BCVA) on the decimal chart was 0.5 in both the right and left eyes. Color fundus photography showed perivascular chorioretinal atrophy with peripheral pigment loss, similar to the fundus appearance of pigmented paravenous chorioretinal atrophy (PPCRA) in the inferior arcade vessels of both eyes.
