Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia Following COVID-19 with Abnormal Findings on Neuroimaging; A Case Report

J Binocul Vis Ocul Motil. 2024 Jul-Sep;74(3):101-103. doi: 10.1080/2576117X.2024.2386198. Epub 2024 Aug 14.

Abstract

COVID-19 had been reported to be associated with neuro-ophthalmic complications. However, there is a shortage of evidence regarding internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) presentation after COVID-19 infection with related brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Herein, we report a case of INO in a 69-year-old woman with presentation of diplopia following COVID-19 infection, along with her neuroimaging. We concluded that it is important to recognize the possibility of INO in patients with diplopia after COVID-19 and to consider brain MRI as an informative tool in these patients.

Keywords: COVID-19; Diplopia; internuclear ophthalmoplegia; neuroimaging.
