Résumé

To present a case of panuveitis with granulomatous intraocular inflammation and vasculitis related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). A 46-year-old female patient had blurred vision in both eyes during 8 days after COVID-19 symptoms. Anterior segment examination revealed anterior chamber cells in the both eyes, mutton fat keratic precipitates and posterior synechiae in the left eye. Small peripheral iris nodules and mild vitritis were accompanying in both eyes. Fundus examination revealed multiple superficial retinal infiltrate lesions in the peripheral retina with retinal periphlebitis in both eyes. Spectral domain optical coherence tomography showed hyperreflective superficial retinal infiltrates. Fluorescein angiography (FA) and indocyanine green angiography demonstrated hypofluorescent foci due to blockade of retinal infiltrates. Peripheral vascular leakage was detected on FA in both eyes. This case showed that COVID-19 infection can cause granulomatous panuveitis. Autoimmune mechanisms related to COVID-19 may lead to ocular inflammation.
