Here, we present an 11-year-old COVID-19 case who developed papilledema secondary to intracranial hypertension.An 11-year-old (previously healthy) patient presented with flu-like symptoms (fever, sore throat, cough) followed by severe headache and markedly blurred vision. The patient’s neurological examination was normal. Ophthalmological examination revealed bilateral Grade 1 optic disc edema. The nasal swab PCR of COVID-19 was positive, and neuroimaging was normal. The patient was considered to have intracranial hypertension secondary to COVID-19 and the patient was treated with acetazolamide. No complications developed in the follow-up. COVID-19 infection can present with many different clinics. Here, we show papilledema, a rare neurological manifestation of COVID-19 infection, in a patient presenting with headache and blurred vision. In cases with headache (increasing with positioning) and blurred vision, detailed ocular and neurological examinations are very important in terms of diagnosing possible increased intracranial pressure and preventing secondary complications (such as vision loss)}, number={3}
