| مستخلص: | We report the case of a previously healthy 48-year-old man who developed an isolated abducens nerve palsy 18 days after presenting with coronavirus disease (COVID-19) confirmed by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. His main complaint at arrival was double vision. Ocular examination revealed a sixth cranial nerve palsy in the left eye. The incomitant esotropia at arrival was 30 prism diopters. Abduction was markedly limited, while adduction was normal in the left eye. The patient underwent complete clinical, neurological, and neuroimaging investigations, including cerebrospinal fluid sample analysis to rule out infectious causes. A conservative approach with orthoptic therapy and Fresnel prism was opted. Eight months after the onset of COVID-19, regression of the strabismus was observed, and the patient reported complete recovery of the diplopia. This case suggests that isolated abducens nerve palsy caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection may improve with a conservative approach. |
