Bilateral multifocal inner retinitis following a viral illness, likely Covid-19.

Purpose: To describe a young female patient who presented with unilateral vision loss with multiple bilateral inner retinal lesions after a non-specific viral illness, likely Covid -19.

Methods: Case Report: We reviewed the medical record, examined the retina, OCT images and fundus fluorescein angiogram of the patient along with the relevant medical literature.

Results: The patient presented to our Emergency Department at Moorfields Eye Hospital with a two-week history of new onset floaters and blurred vision in her right eye. On examination she was found to have a low grade bilateral vitritis, mild right optic nerve head swelling and multiple white inner retinal lesions in both eyes.

Conclusion: Retinitis can be due to multiple infectious and non-infectious aetiologies. In this case report we discuss a case of rare multifocal inner retinitis from a non-specific viral illness - likely COVID -19.
