Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus (SARS-Cov 2) is known to have neuro-ophthalmological manifestations such as optic neuritis, papillophlebitis, papilledema, visual disturbance associated with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, and vision loss caused by stroke, Miller Fisher syndrome, Adie’s pupils, ocular myasthenia gravis, nystagmus eye movement disorders, and cranial neuropathies like third and sixth nerve palsies. Sixth nerve palsy in adults is mostly attributable to microvascular ischemia and trauma. Research suggests that SARS- COV 2 infection can result in inflammatory nerve damage due to aberrant immune response leading to neuropathy. We report a case of a 42-year-old man presenting with a unilateral abducens nerve palsy following Covid-19 infection treated with a course of steroids leading to faster recovery.
