Abstract

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report a case of bilateral facial palsy in a patient with Guillain-Barre Syndrome after coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19) vaccination. Methods : The patient diagnosed as Guillain-Barre Syndrome and Bilateral facial palsy after COVID-19 vaccination. We applied Korean medical treatment including acupuncture and herbal medicine for bilateral facial palsy. We used HBGS(House-Brackmann Grading System), VAS(Visual Analog Scale) to estimate the symptoms. Results : After the treatment, both facial palsy showed big improvement. Compared to the onset, HBGS improved by Grade 1/2 and VAS by 2. Conclusions : This case report shows effect of Korean medicine on Bilateral facial palsy and suggests a possibility of Korean medicine to treat adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination.
