“Faces are like water in my head,” the 28-year-old customer service rep and part-time portrait artist told Dartmouth College doctors.
After a bout of COVID-19, Annie couldn’t recognize her father’s face, even though she’s a part-time portrait artist.
“My dad’s voice came out of a stranger’s face,” the case study, identified only by her first name for privacy reasons, told researchers., which has been linked to other neurological effects including brain fog, memory problems and a loss of smell and taste.— as a result of COVID-19 infection, according to a new peer-reviewed Dartmouth College study published in the Cortex medical journal.
The problem first become apparent for Annie when, two months after recovering from COVID-19, she met her family at a restaurant — but walked past them twice without recognizing them.She’s also living with navigational problems: Making her way around her favorite grocery store is now difficult, she has trouble finding her car in a parking lot and she sometimes realizes that she’s driving in the wrong direction on once-familiar routes.
“The combination of prosopagnosia and navigational deficits that Annie had is something that caught our attention because the two deficits often go hand-in-hand after somebody either has had brain damage or developmental deficits,”Duchaine and other researchers published Annie’s case study in the journal. “Our study highlights the sorts of perceptual problems with face recognition and navigation that can be caused by COVID-19,” said Duchaine.
