In MIS-C patients, vessel densities of the deep layer of the inner retina and flow area in the outer retina significantly decreased. This OCTA-A finding suggests; MIS-C is related with endothelial thrombotic condition problems in small branches of the retinal artery. The results of this study support the idea that there is a need for screening of MIS-C patients for the presence of these microangiopathic and perfusional complications.
