Abstract

Although coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines have been effective in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic, a variety of post-vaccination neurological complications have been reported worldwide. Amyloid β-related angiitis (ABRA) is a rare neurological disease. The underlying cause of ABRA is unknown, but several studies suggest that it is caused by an excessive immune response to amyloid-β deposited in blood vessels. In addition, limited attention has been paid to potential triggers of ABRA, such as infection or vaccination.
