AI Article Synopsis
- Bell's palsy is a rare condition linked to lower motor neuron lesions, and the report presents two cases associated with COVID-19 and an AstraZeneca vaccine.
- One patient developed Bell's palsy after having COVID-19, while the other experienced it after receiving the AZD1222 Vaxzervria vaccine.
- The study suggests that both COVID-19 infection and the AstraZeneca vaccine could be potential causes of Bell's palsy, especially after ruling out other factors.
Article Abstract
Bell's palsy is a lower motor neuron lesion rarely associated with COVID-19 infection or vaccinations. We documented two cases of Bell's palsy in this report, one after contracting COVID-19 infection and the other after administration of AZD1222 Vaxzervria (AstraZeneca) Vaccine. After excluding all possible causes of Bell's palsy in both cases, we determined that COVID-19 infection and the AZD1222 Vaxzervria (AstraZeneca) vaccine were the causes. Thus, we believe COVID-19 and the AZD1222 Vaxzervria (AstraZeneca) vaccine should be considered as causes of Bell's palsy.
