Abstract

After the word pandemic Sarscov2 and the advent of covid 19 vaccination, a wide range of neurological complications are continually being reported; we illustrate the clinical case of a 21-year-old man, who was admitted for a spinal cord syndrome with D12-L1 sensory level two weeks after vaccination covid 19 and was diagnosed with acute transverse myelitis associated with positives antibodies AQP4. Our case presents a temporal association with covid 19 vaccination demonstrated by the onset of symptoms after the 1st dose and the worsening of symptoms after the administration of the 2nd dose. After review of the literature, four cases of NMOSD have been reported in post-vaccination; We suggest that our case is the fifth.
