Instituto Leônidas & Maria Deane. Manaus, AM, Brasil.Introduction: The abducens nerve (sixth cranial nerve) is a motor nerve that innervates the lateral rectus muscle, playing a key role in ocular abduction. Palsy of this nerve leads to convergent strabismus and diplopia. Common causes include strokes, trauma, inflammation, and infections, though in some cases, the etiology remains un-determined. With the emergence of COVID-19, neurological manifestations such as cranial neuropathies, including abducens nerve palsy, have been reported. Case presentation: We present a case of a previously healthy 48-year-old male diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection who developed abducens nerve palsy in the left eye. Following the resolution of respiratory symp-toms, strabismus persisted. Treatment with methylprednisolone was initiated, resulting in partial recovery within one week and complete resolution after three months. Conclusion: SARS-CoV-2-induced abducens nerve palsy can be reversible with conservative treatment using methylprednisolone. Early recognition and appropriate management are crucial for achieving a favorable prognosis.COVID-19Abducens nerve palsyCranial neuropathMethylprednisoloneCOVID-19info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Institucional da FIOCRUZ (ARCA)instname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZLICENSElicense.txtlicense.txttext/plain; charset=utf-82991https://arca.fiocruz.br/bitstreams/60a0457b-21e3-4916-82b1-736f0770ad9c/download5a560609d32a3863062d77ff32785d58MD51falseAnonymousREADORIGINALArticle SARS-CoV-2 induced abducens nerve palsy A case report and response.pdfArticle SARS-CoV-2 induced abducens nerve palsy A case report and response.pdfapplication/pdf2649687https://arca.fiocruz.br/bitstreams/da8c3473-b5b5-472e-bc04-b8988eecf218/download95b223a6c4df2bab59c642be40032a6cMD53trueAnonymousREADTEXTArticle SARS-CoV-2 induced abducens nerve palsy A case report and response.pdf.txtArticle SARS-CoV-2 induced abducens nerve palsy A case report and response.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain27448https://arca.fiocruz.br/bitstreams/6137a366-4e2d-4528-aa7f-aef85a4a39fe/download7a0244ece4804bb52fc97ba4f54fcfb2MD56falseAnonymousREADTHUMBNAILArticle SARS-CoV-2 induced abducens nerve palsy A case report and response.pdf.jpgArticle SARS-CoV-2 induced abducens nerve palsy A case report and response.pdf.jpgGenerated Thumbnailimage/jpeg5547https://arca.fiocruz.br/bitstreams/67edb5ec-92db-4b53-aed9-008407c681e4/download9bc4ae0458a1dee87bf3210f7fae08faMD57falseAnonymousREADicict/699842025-07-30 01:19:05.176open.accessoai:arca.fiocruz.br:icict/69984https://arca.fiocruz.brRepositório InstitucionalPUBhttps://www.arca.fiocruz.br/oai/requestrepositorio.arca@fiocruz.bropendoar:21352025-07-30T04:19:05Repositório Institucional da FIOCRUZ (ARCA) -
