Abstract
Purpose: To report a case of uveal effusion syndrome in association with primary COVID-19 infection to share our experience and insight in diagnosing and managing this unique case.
Case presentation: A 56-year-old woman presented with angle closure glaucoma of both eyes. Further examination and imaging revealed the etiology to be related to bilateral uveal effusions and choroidal thickening in the setting of recent COVID-19 infection. The patient's glaucoma was managed with bilateral iridotomies and medical therapy, while the precipitating uveal effusions resolved with treatment on oral steroids.
Conclusion: While uveal effusion syndrome has been associated with COVID-19 vaccination, it has not yet been reported after primary infection. Recognition of this rare phenomenon will allow for better diagnosis and treatment in future cases.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
