To evaluate the management of the pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus clinic when strict quarantine conditions were adopted during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Turkey.
The study presents a review of the patients examined during the quarantine period. All patients were assessed with the highest possible level of personal protection.
Ten patients (6 girls, 4 boys) with a mean age of 9 years (range: 2-16) were evaluated. The patients presented 3-20 days after symptom onset. Ocular misalignment and diplopia were the main symptoms. Four of the 10 patients were diagnosed with sixth cranial nerve palsy and three patients were diagnosed with acute-onset comitant esotropia. Six patients had significant cranial magnetic resonance imaging findings.
Acute-onset neurological conditions are more common during the COVID-19 pandemic. These reports will contribute to global experience and understanding of COVID-19.
评估在土耳其 2019 冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间采取严格检疫措施时小儿眼科和斜视科的管理情况。
本研究回顾了检疫期间检查的患者。所有患者均在尽可能高的个人防护水平下进行评估。
评估了 10 名患者（6 名女孩，4 名男孩），平均年龄为 9 岁（范围：2-16 岁）。这些患者在出现症状后 3-20 天就诊。眼球偏斜和复视是主要症状。在 10 名患者中，有 4 名被诊断为第六颅神经麻痹，3 名被诊断为急性发作性共同性内斜视。6 名患者的头颅磁共振成像有显著异常。
在 COVID-19 大流行期间，急性发作的神经疾病更为常见。这些报告将有助于全球对 COVID-19 的经验和理解。
