[Ophthalmic manifestations in COVID-19-associated multiple mononeuropathy of the cranial nerves (clinical observation)]. / Oftal'mologicheskie proyavleniya pri mnozhestvennoi mononevropatii kranial'nykh nervov, assotsiirovannoi s COVID-19 (klinicheskoe nablyudenie).

Clinical manifestations of the new coronavirus infection can vary greatly and affect different organs and systems. Despite the lack of convincing data on the possible direct damage to the structures of the eyeball by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, indirect involvement of the organ of vision both in the acute period of the disease, during the period of convalescence, and as a part of the post-COVID syndrome is common in clinical practice. The condition of the ocular surface is not given much attention during the treatment of the main disease, especially in severe cases, which can lead to serious complications and visual acuity loss after recovery. Timely measures can prevent the loss of visual acuity. This article presents a description and discusses a rare case of multiple neuropathy of the cranial nerves associated with COVID-19, with bilateral involvement of the olfactory (I), trigeminal (V), facial (VII) and sublingual (XII) nerves, as well as the right optic nerve (II), which required staged rehabilitation.
