ABSTRACT
Loss of taste is a relatively common symptom of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and has also been considered a rare Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) symptom. We herein report a case of a facial diplegia and paresthesia (FDP) variant of GBS that initially presented as a loss of taste occurring two weeks after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination. The patient recovered completely after intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. Clinicians should consider the possibility of post-vaccination FDP manifesting as facial palsy and should be aware that GBS, including the FDP variant, can initially present as an isolated loss of taste.
