“…Filosto et al [14] published a series of 34 GBS cases in the North Italian population of 8.4 million, and calculated a rate of 47.9 cases of GBS per 100 000 COVID-19 infections. In a prior case series published by our hospital (Goel et al [15]), we have also reported neurological manifestations of COVID-19 disease presenting to our hospital, out of which 2 presented with GBS.…”

The virus SARS-CoV2 and the disease spectrum caused by it have led to a widespread impact on the medical and economic status of all nations of the world. This led to an expedited mission to introduce a vaccine which could attempt to neutralize the pandemic to some extent. Many vaccines have been introduced with an acceptable safety profile, producing only mild adverse effects of soreness at injection site, malaise, fever, diarrhoea, myalgia and uncommonly allergic/anaphylactic reactions and possibility of getting infected with SARS-CoV2. Some isolated reports have also emerged of serious thromboembolic phenomena and neurological complications such as Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). A similar incident was noticed at our institute, where a 71 year old male recipient of COVID-19 vaccine at an immunization centre, presented to us with features of GBS. We hereby report this case, not establishing a direct link between the two, but to raise awareness regarding the ongoing mass immunization world-wide.

Background During the current pandemic, there is an increased incidence of neurologic/neuropsychiatric manifestations in patients with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Neurologic manifestations may be coincident or result of disease and its therapy. In the emergency department, orientation of the clinician with this issue is crucial for accurate decision making to limit the spread of infection during neurologic treatment. This study aimed to be familiar with MRI findings in patients with Neuro-COVID. Seventy patients presented with neurologic/neuropsychiatric manifestation either post COVID or during hospitalization underwent cerebral MRI from April 2020 to June 2021 (39 men and 31women; mean age 43.27, age range from 16 to 69 years). Results Headache (80%), is the most prevalent neurological manifestations followed by smell and taste impairment (62.9%) and stroke symptoms (45.7%). Low mood and anxiety (17.1%), prolonged fatigue (14.3%) and depression (7.1%) are the most common psychiatric symptoms. Infarctions, hematoma and demyelinating disease are the most prevalent findings. There is a week positive correlation between MRI findings and CT chest finding but without statistical significance (P-value 0.2). Conclusions Cerebrovascular disease and demyelinating lesions are common manifestations of COVID 19. Familiarity of neurologists and radiologist in the emergency department and in-patient with this issue is crucial to avoid misdiagnosis and the spread of infection.

“…8 Several studies have suspected that SARS-CoV2 may spread directly through systemic circulation to the cerebral or penetrate through the cribriform lamina of the ethmoid bone through inflammatory response, immune mechanism, and microvascular disease. 7, 11 Angiotensin-converting enzymes II (ACE II) receptors found in the endothelial cell of the oral, nasal mucosa, and the nervous system may act as the entry point of the virus and cause neurological involvement in the patient. 12 Neurological symptoms can be a direct effect of virus neurotropism or a systemic consequence of immune-mediated mechanism after infection.…”

Uncommon presentation of COVID-19 in ophthalmology: a case report

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic is well known for its clinical respiratory symptoms. Currently, the medical literature describing the neuro-ophthalmologic manifestations of COVID-19 is gradually emerging. We hereby report a case with an uncommon presentation of COVID-19 in a patient. Case Report: A 19-year-old man presented with ptosis and limited left eye movement in his left eye followed by other neurological manifestations, without classical respiratory manifestations. Brain imaging and nasopharyngeal PCR suggest COVID-19 encephalitis. Conclusion: This experience confirms that COVID-19 infections can be present despite the absence of significant respiratory symptoms mimicry to other symptoms. Therefore, physicians should consider the possibility of COVID-19 infections, and time management may lead to a better outcome.
