The COVID-19 virus has been associated with a variety of neurological complications. We present the case of a 41 year old woman who presented with visual symptoms associated with COVID-19 infection. Neurological examination revealed bilateral papilledema and after exclusion of other disorders such as brain tumour and sinus thrombosis she received a diagnosis of IIH, fulfilling the diagnostic criteria for this disorder. We believe there is a causal association between COVID-19 and IIH in her case. Doctors treating COVID-19 patients should be aware of this possible association as early diagnosis and treatment can be important to prevent visual deterioration.
新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)病毒已与多种神经系统并发症相关联。我们报告一例41岁女性病例,该患者出现了与COVID-19感染相关的视觉症状。神经系统检查发现双侧视乳头水肿,在排除其他疾病如脑肿瘤和鼻窦血栓形成后,她被诊断为特发性颅内高压(IIH),符合该疾病的诊断标准。我们认为在她的病例中,COVID-19与IIH之间存在因果关联。治疗COVID-19患者的医生应意识到这种可能的关联,因为早期诊断和治疗对于预防视力恶化可能很重要。
