Abstract

Due to pervasive pandemic of SARS CoV-2 the reports of rare neurological complications have turned up out of the ordinary. The public health concerns are raised due to SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccinations as this recent pandemic has set the development and deployment of vaccines at large scale. The randomized controlled trials being carried were underpowered to foresee the rare adverse effects. Amongst other neurological complications acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) has been reported with vaccination for SARS-CoV-2. Herein, we report a patient with a unique presentation of ADEM, a severe neuroinflammatory disorder developed shortly after mRNA based Moderna vaccine for SARS-CoV-2.
