Initial clinical manifestation of multiple sclerosis after immunization with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine

Vaccine administration may be involved in the development of some central nervous system demyelinating diseases. The COVID-19 vaccine is being administered to the entire population, but to date, little association between vaccination and the risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS) has been suggested, and only a few case reports have been published. Here, we present a 40-year-old woman who developed cervical myelitis after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. Myelitis was considered the initial clinical manifestation of MS. Our case suggests a possible link between the vaccination and the clinical MS attack.
