Covid Vaccination Paralyzed Face Coincidences

### Where to Find Case Study Pictures

1. **Medical Journals and Articles**:

   – **PubMed Central (PMC)**: Search for articles like “Bell’s Palsy and COVID-19 Vaccines: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis” (e.g., published in MDPI, 2021). Some case reports or series include images of patients showing facial paralysis symptoms, such as drooping or asymmetry, though access to full-text images may require a subscription or institutional access.

   – **The Lancet Infectious Diseases**: Look for studies like “Bell’s palsy following vaccination with mRNA (BNT162b2) and inactivated (CoronaVac) SARS-CoV-2 vaccines: a case series and nested case-control study” (2021). Figures or supplementary materials might include clinical photos.

   – **JAMA Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery**: Articles like “Association of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination or Infection With Bell Palsy” (2023) may have visual documentation in some cases.

2. **Steps to Access**:

   – Visit databases like PubMed (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), ScienceDirect (www.sciencedirect.com), or Google Scholar (scholar.google.com).

   – Use search terms: “case study Bell’s palsy after COVID-19 vaccination images” or “facial paralysis post-vaccine case report.”

   – Look for open-access articles or those with free supplementary files, where images (e.g., facial droop, inability to close eye) are often included.

3. **Example Findings**:

   – A case report from *Neurología (English Edition)* (2021) titled “Bell’s palsy following COVID-19 vaccination: a case report” describes a patient with left-sided facial droop and includes figures showing the paralysis (e.g., inability to raise eyebrow, close eye, or lift labial commissure).

   – Some studies note unilateral paralysis (62.8% of cases in a 2022 systematic review) with photos depicting drooping mouth, effaced nasolabial fold, or incomplete eye closure.

4. **Alternative Sources**:

   – **Medical Websites**: Sites like the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (ninds.nih.gov) provide general Bell’s palsy images and descriptions, though not always vaccine-specific.

   – **Facial Paralysis Institute**: Their page on “Are COVID-19 And Bell’s Palsy Vaccine Side Effects Related?” (facialparalysisinstitute.com) may link to educational visuals or case examples.

### Important Notes

– **Privacy and Ethics**: Clinical images in case studies are often anonymized to protect patient identity, and not all reports include photos.

– **Availability**: Many images are behind paywalls or require professional access. If you have a university or hospital affiliation, check their library resources.

– **Confirmation**: Would you like me to search for specific open-access case studies with links to images or focus on describing documented cases instead?
