Abstract

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.
