Abstract
Purpose: The onset of the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic in December 2019 created the need for multiple scientific research activities and clinical trials in an attempt to find solutions to mitigate the impact of the virus. One of the important tools to combat the virus is the development of vaccination programs. All types of vaccines have been associated with a mild to severe risk of neurological adverse events. One of these severe adverse events is Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Case report: Here, we describe a case of Guillain-Barré syndrome after the first dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine and review the literature to increase the current knowledge regarding this complication.
Conclusion: Guillain-Barré syndrome after COVID-19 vaccination is responsive to treatment. The benefits of administering the vaccine outweigh the risks. Due to the negative impact of COVID-19, it is essential to recognize the development of neurological complications that are potentially associated with vaccination, including Guillain-Barré syndrome.
