RESUMO
Zika virus (ZIKV) is an emerging flavivirus which has been linked to a number of neurologic manifestations such as Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), transverse myelitis, and meningo-encephalitis. Ophthalmologic manifestations are increasingly being reported; however, ocular dyskinesias have not been described in this context to date. Herein, we report a case of a 22-year-old female who presented with ocular flutter and associated Guillain-Barré syndrome following acute ZIKV infection. We speculate that although such symptoms may have originated from a direct viral insult, a post-infectious autoimmune mechanism may not be excluded. Physicians should include ZIKV as well as other flaviviruses in their diagnostic workup for all patients with ocular flutter/opsoclonus, after excluding other non-infectious causes of central nervous system pathology. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the association of ocular flutter, GBS, and ZIKV infection.
