COVID-19-Induced Acute Bilateral Optic Neuritis

Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: A 44-year-old male patient with no past medical history presented 2 weeks after seropositive coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection with vision problems suggestive of optic neuritis. Radiological testing showed findings suspicious for acute bilateral optic neuritis. The patient had also anti-MOG antibodies. Whether this was an optic neuritis due to COVID-19, MOG antibody disease, or an activation of MOG antibody disease by COVID-19 is discussed in this case.
