Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy following COVID-19 infection

Abstract

There is a growing body of literature reporting the ocular manifestations of COVID-19. Rarely inflammation of the retina or choroid have been associated with the infection. To the best of our knowledge, there are no prior reports that describe the clinical course or visual outcome in a patient with APMPEE associated with recent COVID-19 infection. Accordingly, we are not aware of any other reports that describe the treatment of APMPEE associated with COVID-19 with corticosteroids. The mechanism linking COVID-19 infection to inflammatory ocular disorders in unclear and likely multi-factorial.
