Acute abducens nerve palsy after COVID-19 vaccination in a young adult

We present the case of a 23-year-old young man with left-eye abducens nerve palsy following the COVID-19 vaccination.

Sumario:We present the case of a 23-year-old young man with left-eye abducens nerve palsy following the COVID-19 vaccination.

The ophthalmologist should be aware of this neurotropic sequela of COVID-19 vaccination in young adults.
