Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), also called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), first appeared in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. It has rapidly spread to multiple countries and has become a global health problem. The effects of COVID-19 on the CNS (Central Nervous System) are reported in low but increasing numbers. We report a case of COVID-19-induced encephalopathy with a biphasic clinical presentation only after a neurologically silent period.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious respiratory disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, brings with it a plethora of health concerns. Although most people have mild symptoms, which are respiratory in nature, some experience neurological symptoms, central nervous system manifestations, peripheral nervous manifestations, and skeletal muscle manifestations. But the damaging impact of COVID-19 virus on the hearing organs in the inner ear is a new finding yet to be explored. Currently, there is little evidence published connecting novel coronavirus and tinnitus directly. But according to the American Tinnitus Association, preexisting behavioral conditions make it more likely for patients to experience tinnitus due to the stress and depression associated with social isolation and infection avoidance. Hearing loss and Tinnitus is a common pathology seen in otolaryngology and there are numerous papers in literature describing its associations with other infections. However, this is the first reported case of hearing loss and tinnitus in a COVID-19 patient, in the State of Qatar, and this case report strives to contribute to the ocean of literature highlighting the need for otorhinolaryngologists to be aware of its correlation with COVID-19 virus.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) may affect the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Major central nervous system manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection include seizures, meningoencephalitis, ischemic stroke, anosmia, and hypogeusia. The reversible splenial lesion syndrome was first described in 2004. Although reversible splenial lesion syndrome was initially recognized as a benign phenomenon, a second type of reversible splenial lesion syndrome was identified in later years, which has a poorer prognosis and potentially serious sequela. Reversible splenial lesion syndrome can be caused by numerous etiologies including viruses. In this report, we present a rare case of COVID-19 with reversible splenial lesion, who presented with ataxia and dizziness.
