Abstract
We read with interest the article by Cellina et al. about a 33 years old female developing left peripheral facial palsy (House-Brackmann score IIII) 12 h after the first dose of the anti-SARS-CoV-2 Moderna vaccine [ 1. Cellina M. D'Arrigo A. Floridi C. Oliva G. Carrafiello G. Left Bell's palsy following the first dose of mRNA-1273 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine: a case report. Clin Imaging. 2021 Nov; 4: 1-4https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinimag.2021.10.010 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (2) Google Scholar ]. The general practitioner prescribed prednisone (50 mg/d) for 10 days resulting in complete recovery of the palsy at follow-up 19 days after the vaccine shot [ 1. Cellina M. D'Arrigo A. Floridi C. Oliva G. Carrafiello G. Left Bell's palsy following the first dose of mRNA-1273 SARS-CoV-2 vaccine: a case report. Clin Imaging. 2021 Nov; 4: 1-4https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinimag.2021.10.010 Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (2) Google Scholar ]. A causal relation between the vaccination and the palsy was established. The study is appealing but raises comments and concerns.
