Article Synopsis
- The study examined cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) following COVID-19 vaccination compared to non-vaccinated GBS cases in Buenos Aires, involving 91 patients treated from March 2020 to March 2022.
- Patients who had been vaccinated showed a higher incidence of cranial nerve involvement and bilateral facial paralysis, but overall clinical severity scores and other neurophysiological characteristics were similar between the two groups.
- The findings suggest a need for further research to clarify any potential link between COVID-19 vaccination and GBS, particularly through ongoing vaccine safety monitoring and epidemiological studies.
Several cases of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) associated with COVID-19 vaccination have been reported, including the rare subtype known as Bilateral Facial Palsy with paresthesias (BFP). To date, it is not known whether a causal relationship may exist between the two. We report 9 cases of BFP in patients vaccinated against COVID-19 in the previous month.
