Abstract Parsonage–Turner syndrome (PTS) is a peripheral inflammatory neuropathy of unknown etiology. We present a rare case of a 50‐year‐old male patient with PTS post‐COVID‐19 BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine. Symptoms occurred 15 days after the second dose. He was treated with corticosteroids, analgesics, and physical rehabilitation with a partial recovery.
