We report three cases of blepharospasms developed after a symptomatic COVID-19 infection, in order to describe a possible association between COVID-19 infection and essential blepharospasm. Blepharospasm could represent a late sign of COVID-19 infection (more than four weeks after the contagion) and may be triggered by the neurotropism of the coronavirus.

Abstract
We report three cases of blepharospasms developed after a symptomatic COVID-19 infection, in order to describe a possible association between COVID-19 infection and essential blepharospasm. Blepharospasm could represent a late sign of COVID-19 infection (more than four weeks after the contagion) and may be triggered by the neurotropism of the coronavirus.File in questo prodotto:
