We report three cases of blepharospasms developed after a symptomatic COVID-19 infection, in order to describe a possible association between COVID-19 infection and essential blepharospasm. Blepharospasm could represent a late sign of COVID-19 infection (more than four weeks after the contagion) and may be triggered by the neurotropism of the coronavirus.
我们报告了三例 COVID-19 感染后出现的眼睑痉挛病例,旨在描述 COVID-19 感染与特发性眼睑痉挛之间可能存在的关联。眼睑痉挛可能是 COVID-19 感染的晚期表现(感染后超过四周),并且可能是由冠状病毒的神经嗜性引发的。
