Two additional cases of transient abducens nerve palsy in two young otherwise healthy patients were noted in May 2020. Both patients reported clinically suspicious symptoms of COVID-19 in the weeks preceding the development of the nerve palsy. Unfortunately, neither individual met government testing criteria at the time of onset so real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests were not performed, therefore COVID-19 diagnosis was unconfirmed. Similarly, antibody testing was unavailable for the general public at this time. Moreover, anosmia was not listed as an official symptom of COVID-19 by the UK government until 19th May 2020. Since May 2020, understanding of COVID-19 presentation has developed; consequently, more symptoms are formally recognised. Patient A was a healthy 47-year-old Caucasian female schoolteacher who presented with isolated left abducens palsy. She reported symptoms of sore throat, fatigue, shortness of breath, headache, dizziness and nausea seven weeks prior to the diplopia onset. Diplopia fully resolved in primary position within one month. Residual esophoria was present on laevoversion and dextroversion. Patient B was a healthy 38-year-old male of Chinese ethnicity who presented with isolated right abducens palsy. He worked as a caregiver in a residential home setting with recent confirmed COVID-19 outbreak. He reported symptoms of dry cough, sore throat and malaise two to four weeks prior to onset of diplopia. Diplopia in primary position resolved within one month. Ocular motility was full. In both cases, ophthalmological assessment was unremarkable and MRI scans normal. In the absence of a space occupying lesion and demyelination, post-viral aetiology was suggested. Both patients worked in high-risk occupations, hence COVID-19 exposure is highly possible. Notwithstanding, this evidence is speculative in the absence of a confirmed positive COVID-19 test.
