Post COVID-19 optic neuritis: Two Egyptian case reports

Abstract

neurological deficit (p = 0.008). The most frequent etiologies causing papilledema were brain tumor (51%, p b 0.001) and CNS infection (7%, p = 0.019). There was no significant difference of visual loss distribution (unilateral or bilateral) and onset, both in disc edema and papilledema. ConclusionsSome clinical characteristics and known etiologies can help neuro-ophtalmologists to prioritize patients for fundoscopy examination, particularly in office settings amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
