Bilateral Papilledema Following Human Papillomavirus Vaccination

Abstract

The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines have been shown to be effective in preventing pre-cancerous lesions and are regarded by health professionals as generally safe and well-tolerated. Neurological complications following immunization are extremely rare. We report an 11-year-old girl who presented with bilateral papilledema ten days after the administration of a bivalent HPV vaccine.
