Successful Thrombolysis in a COVID-19 Patient With Acute Cortical Blindness

Since late 2016 there have been several members of the U.S. Embassy in Cuba that exhibited a wide array of unexplainable neurological symptoms including tinnitus, visual disturbances, and cognitive impairment. 40 patients were described which led to the controversial notion of exposure phenomena known as Havana Syndrome. A report was released in 2020 proposing that the mechanism of injury was consistent with a directed, pulsed radio-frequency energy. However, given the sensitive nature of the issue, there have been several critics that believe certain information has been withheld. Our goal was to present a case explaining our findings of a patient that presented to our clinic that was included in the Havana study.
