Cureus. 2023 Jul 8;15(7):e41574. doi: 10.7759/cureus.41574. eCollection 2023 Jul.

Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection commonly presents with symptoms of fever, cough, and anosmia. However, there have been case reports of unusual symptoms associated with COVID-19. We encountered one such case where a 55-year-old male who tested positive for COVID-19 was noted to have, along with cough and vomiting, a new onset of left eyelid ptosis. COVID-19 infection and ptosis association is seldom seen and very few similar studies are reported.
