Description
Summary:A possible association between Bell's palsy and COVID‐19 vaccination has been suggested previously. Here, we report two cases of facial nerve hemiparalysis following the Sputnik V COVID‐19 vaccination in a 27‐year‐old female patient and a 58‐year‐old male patient who were both clinically diagnosed with Bell's palsy. COVID‐19 vaccination could be associated with many side effects. This case report suggests a possible association between Bell's palsy and COVID‐19 vaccination by Sputnik V COVID‐19 vaccination.
