Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the risk factors, clinical findings, treatment methods and short-term outcomes of infants born to mothers with COVID-19 infection and infants with COVID-19 infection. Materials and Methods: Data of infants born to mothers with COVID-19 infection and infants with COVID-19 infection treated in our Newborn Intensive Care Unit between 1 March 2020 and 1 April 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: A total of 60 newborns were included in the study. Of these, 46 were born to mothers with COVID-19 infection, the gestational week was 36.8 +/- 3.3 weeks, 28 were girls. All newborns born to mothers with COVID-19 tested negative for reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The premature birth rate was 30%, the low birth weight rate was 19.4%, maternal mortality was 8.7% and neonatal mortality was 2.2%. 14 of the infants included in the study had community-acquired COVID-19 infection, the gestational age was 38.9 +/- 0.9 weeks, 6 of them were girls. The most frequent clinical findings were fever and runny nasal discharge. Most neonates in both groups were formula-fed (65.2% vs. 64.3%, respectively). Conclusion: We found that pregnant women with COVID-19 infection had a higher maternal mortality rate, preterm birth, and caesarean section. Families should be informed and encouraged about breast milk and breastfeeding during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Miller Fisher Syndrome is a variant of Guillain-Barre Syndrome, classically characterized by the triad of ataxia, areflexia and ophthalmoplegia. However, many conditions can mask the presentation of Miller Fisher Syndrome, potentially leading to grave consequences due to delayed diagnosis or even misdiagnosis. Case Report: We describe a case of Miller Fisher Syndrome mimicking acute sphenoid sinusitis with intracranial com-plications in an otherwise healthy 19-year-old man. Accurate diagnosis with prompt treatment led to full clinical recovery of our patient. Conclusion: Sphenoid sinusitis warrants great vigilance and thorough neurological examination due to its proximity to structures such as the cavernous sinus and its associated cranial nerves. This case highlights its potential to mask more devastating conditions like Miller Fisher Syndrome and the successful role of medical management without the need for sphenoidotomy.
