Jan 17, 2025 · We present a rare case of AZOOR complex following COVID-19 vaccination inciting from torpedo retinopathy where outer-retinal barrier breaks down.

Ophthalmic vascular events are serious vision-threatening side effects that have been associated with COVID-19 vaccination. Clinicians should be aware of the possible association between COVID-19 vaccines and ocular vascular events to provide early diagnosis and treatment.

To report two cases; bilateral arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AAION) and bilateral acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination. Case Report

Jan 17, 2025 · We present a rare case of AZOOR complex following COVID-19 vaccination inciting from torpedo retinopathy where outer-retinal barrier breaks down.

Acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) was first described by Donald Gass in 1992; reporting on 13 cases presenting with acute vision loss/visual field defects with photopsias. These patients had acute loss of one or more large zones of outer retinal function with minimal fundus changes at presentation, with some patients having ...

Results: Thirty-seven patients were diagnosed with ocular inflammatory events following COVID-19 vaccination. The mean age was 53.4 ± 16.4 years (range, 26-86 years), and the mean time to onset after vaccination was 6.3 ± 4.2 days (range, 1-14 days).

Jul 11, 2023 · We present a case-based analysis of reported complications of COVID-19 vaccination to the posterior segment of the eye. The study aims to highlight the diversity of possible complications and discuss the plausible involved pathophysiologic mechanisms.

Oct 25, 2022 · A rapid survey was conducted by the Japanese Ocular Inflammation Society from February through December 2021, and results tabulated from 14 responding institutions revealed that of 35 patients with new-onset or recurrent uveitis presenting within 2 weeks of COVID-19 vaccination, only 6 (17.1%) had anterior uveitis, while an astonishing 17 (50% ...

We herein present a rare case of a patient developing AZOOR complex following second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine from torpedo maculopathy site, where the outer-retinal barrier breakdown was not related to autoimmune disease.

Nine patients had posterior uveitis after vaccination, of which 2 (22.2%) had history of ocular toxoplasmosis, and one (11.1%) of acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR).
