Presentar un caso de un paciente infectado con síndrome respiratorio agudo coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) al que se asoció una paresia oculomotora del sexto nervio craneal. Caso clínico: Paciente de 49 años de edad que consulta por diplopía horizontal desde hace 2 meses. Asociada a su visión doble presentó un cuadro respiratorio leve con positividad a SARS-CoV-2. La exploración oftalmológica reveló la presencia de endotropía de 20 dioptrías prismáticas, así como limitación de abducción del ojo izquierdo de −1.5. Se le diagnosticó de paresia del sexto nervio craneal izquierdo, la cual requirió tratamiento mediante la aplicación de toxina botulínica tipo A.
Chloroquine decreased the severity and duration of uveitis, and in two rats it prevented recurrences. Thus, chloroquine can be considered an effective treatment for chronic, recurrent experimental uveitis.
Objective: To report a case of a patient infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) associated with oculomotor paresis of the sixth cranial nerve. Case report: A 49-year-old patient reported a 2-month history of horizontal diplopia. In addition to diplopia, the patient had mild respiratory symptoms with positivity to SARS-CoV-2. Ocular examination revealed an esotropia of 20 prism diopters, as well as a limitation of the abduction of the left eye of −1.5. The patient was diagnosed with the left sixth nerve palsy that required treatment with botulinum toxin type A.
