Internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) is a neuro-ophthalmic disorder caused by damage in the medial longitudinal fasciculus between the third and sixth cranial nerve nuclei. We present a 4-year-old female diagnosed with INO triggered by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. The patient had history of neonatal meningitis with hydrocephalus without history of surgical intervention. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case with combined COVID-19 and chronic hydrocephalus as an etiology for INO in a child. COVID-19 may trigger neurological manifestations as INO in susceptible cases.
眼肌麻痹（INO）是一种神经眼科疾病，由第三和第六颅神经核之间的内侧纵束损伤引起。我们报告了一例由 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）感染引发的 INO 的 4 岁女性患者。该患者患有新生儿脑膜炎伴脑积水，但无手术干预史。据我们所知，这是首例 COVID-19 合并慢性脑积水引起儿童 INO 的病例。COVID-19 可能会在易感病例中引发 INO 等神经系统表现。
