Abstract
COVID-19 has caused a global pandemic, while it is primarily a respiratory pathogen, reports are emerging of neurological manifestation. We are reporting a COVID-19 positive patient who developed diplopia and was found to have an isolated abducens palsy. We reviewed the available English literature of cranial mononeuropathy as a possible manifestation of COVID-19 infection. We found that it is a rare presentation of COVID-19. We suggest that an isolated abducens palsy in association with respiratory symptoms should raise the suspicion of COVID-19 infection, particularly in the current pandemic.
