Purtscher-like retinopathy in a patient with COVID-19 and disseminated intravascular coagulation
Purpose: To describe a unique case of Purtscher-like retinopathy after a severe, complicated COVID-19 course which included development of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Observations: A 58-year-old male developed blurry vision in the left eye one week after being discharged from the h...

Observations: A 58-year-old male developed blurry vision in the left eye one week after being discharged from the hospital for severe COVID-19 pneumonia and DIC.

Fundus examination revealed optic nerve hyperemia in the right eye, optic nerve pallor in the left eye, arteriolar attenuation, multiple cotton wool spots and ill-defined areas of retinal whitening in the posterior pole in both eyes.
