N2 - With the rise of novel types of vaccines during the pandemic, new side effects are encountered. The aim of this paper is to describe an atypical case of bilateral serous detachments with Roth spots after COVID-19 vaccination using an mRNA vaccine. A healthy, 38-year-old male presented with a central scotoma and metamorphopsia in his left eye, 4 days after his second COVID-19 booster shot. Bilateral serous detachments were seen, with one area showing Roth spots. Patient's symptoms resolved spontaneously without any treatment. Although serous detachment after COVID-19 vaccination has been described in the context of other diseases, such as Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, central serous chorioretinopathy, and posterior scleritis, this is the first report of serous detachments with Roth spots as an isolated entity.
