Popis: There is a global concern about children presenting with inflammatory syndrome with variable clinical features during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This paper reports the first pediatric case of bilateral serous retinal detachment and conjunctival hemorrhage as a revealing pattern of the pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 (PIMS-TS). Despite the severity of multisystemic involvement, the management with steroids was very successful. Complete remission was obtained within 3 months of acute onset.
