====== Acute monocular vision loss ======

The [[covid-19]] [[infection]] has been declared a [[pandemic]] by the [[World Health Organization]]. Deshpande and Giri presented a unique [[case]] of a middle-aged gentleman, who recovered from asymptomatic Covid-19 infection and presented again with delayed [[stroke]]. He had [[vision loss]] secondary to [[internal carotid artery occlusion]] in the absence of neurological symptoms. This is the first case that describes cerebrovascular [[stroke]] due to delayed [[large vessel occlusion]] secondary to Covid-19 infection presenting as [[monocular vision loss]]
