Optic neuritis after Covid ‐19 vaccine application

ABSTRACTAs the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rise, the development of effective vaccines is of crucial importance to prevent further morbidity and mortality. In parallel, some rare adverse events related to COVID-19 vaccines, have been reported, most of them mild. Here we report the case of a previous healthy 19-year-old woman who developed optic neuritis 1 week after single dose of Ad26.COV2.S vaccine with marked improvement after management with steroids.Although causality cannot be confirmed due to lack of a biological marker, this case may help to guide further research for potential pathogenic mechanism.
