Preeclampsia and Neurological Complications in Pregnancy

This case report discusses a pregnant patient who developed preeclampsia, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) during a COVID-19 infection. The patient, a 25-year-old female at 35 weeks of pregnancy, was diagnosed with COVID-19 and subsequently experienced severe hypertension and seizures. The report details her clinical presentation, including abnormal biochemical test results and imaging findings that confirmed PRES and CVST. It also outlines the management strategies employed, including the use of antihypertensives and antiepileptics, and the patient's follow-up care. The report highlights the potential relationship between COVID-19 and the development of these serious complications during pregnancy, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and intervention to mitigate risks to both maternal and fetal health. The authors suggest that further research is needed to understand the interplay between COVID-19 and pregnancy-related complications.
