Clinical examination showed that the best-corrected visual acuity in the right eye was counting fingers. Other findings included circumferential retinal hemorrhage, perimacular ischemic color, severe macular edema, and severe optic disc swelling, indicating the presence of central retinal vein occlusion, incomplete central retinal artery occlusion, and papillitis. Based on the possibility of post-vaccination inflammation and\/or abnormal immune response, three courses of steroid pulse therapy were administered, and the visual acuity slightly improved to 20\/1,000.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Three months after the onset of symptoms, macular edema disappeared; conversely, retinal thinning of the macula and extensive non-perfusion areas mainly on the nasal side were noted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings in this case suggest that inflammation and abnormal immune response after receiving a COVID-19 vaccination may lead to combined retinal arteriovenous occlusion and papillitis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fopht.2024.1352962","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,23]],"date-time":"2024-02-23T05:01:10Z","timestamp":1708664470000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Case report: A case of unilateral combined central retinal vein occlusion, incomplete central retinal artery occlusion, and papillitis following a third dose of COVID-19 vaccination"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Ami","family":"Furukawa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yukihiko","family":"Suzuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Narumi","family":"Nozuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naruki","family":"Kurosaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Satomi","family":"Kogawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shinya","family":"Hara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shinji","family":"Ueno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/vaccines10020342","article-title":"Ocular complications following vaccination for COVID-19: A one-year retrospective","volume":"10","author":"Haseeb","year":"2022","journal-title":"Vaccines"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/vaccines9111349","article-title":"Retinal vascular events after mRNA and adenoviral-vectored COVID-19 vaccines -
