Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is a relatively uncommon yet devastating cause of vision-threatening uveitis. This manuscript analyzed the cases of ARN that have been reported following SARS-CoV-2 infections and anti- SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations. A total of nine cases of ARN were reported in the literature. Among them, four patients with ARN were attributed to SARS-CoV-2 infections, and a history of recent Covid vaccination was present in five patients when a diagnosis of ARN was made. ARN has been described following SARS-CoV-2 infections or vaccinations against the virus, and many of these cases may be based on a cause-to-effect hypothesis.
