Abstract
A possible association between Bell's palsy and COVID-19 vaccination has been suggested previously. Here, we report two cases of facial nerve hemiparalysis following the Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccination in a 27-year-old female patient and a 58-year-old male patient who were both clinically diagnosed with Bell's palsy.
