While neurologic complications are frequently reported among patients with COVID‐19 in the general population, they are unknown in pregnant women. This paper summarizes the case reports of pregnant women with confirmed SARS‐CoV‐2 infection plus a specified neurologic diagnosis. Until November 2021, 18 case reports were found. Both the central and peripheral nervous systems were equally affected: delirium ( n = 1), posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome ( n = 4), cerebrovascular disease ( n = 2), acute cerebral demyelinating disease ( n = 1), acute necrotizing encephalopathy ( n = 1), Guillain–Barré syndrome ( n = 5), including one patient who also had vestibular neuritis, Bell's palsy ( n = 3), and rhabdomyolysis ( n = 1). The median maternal age was 32.5 (25—35) years, the median gestational age was 34 (30—36.5) weeks, and 38.9% presented previous medical conditions. Respiratory symptoms were reported in 76.5%, and 76.5% received immunotherapies to treat the COVID‐19 or the neurologic complications. Half the women required admission to ICU and, more often, were those with central nervous system involvement (77.8% vs. 22.2%; Chi‐square test, p = .018). For 64.7% of women, the most common method of delivery was surgical, although just one case was due to the neurologic complication. There were reports of one spontaneous abortion, two fetal deaths, and no maternal deaths. Only one case presented a poor neurologic outcome. It is possible that our findings are underestimated, considering that there are thousands of reports regarding neurologic complications in the general population with COVID‐19.

“…A PB tem sido apontada como manifestação neurológica da COVID-19 cujos sinais podem aparecer no pós-parto, conforme estudo de Kumar et al (2021), no entanto, previamente à pandemia, a maioria dos casos de PB em Obstetrícia já ocorria em gestantes do último trimestre e em puérperas no período imediato, especialmente, naquelas com doenças hipertensivas específicas da gestação (eg., pré-eclâmpsia) (Ferreira et al, 2013;Shmorgun, Chan, Ray, 2002). Adicionalmente, evidências têm apontado que a abordagem fisioterapêutica apresenta efeito positivo na recuperação funcional, especialmente, frente à severidade da PB e ao tempo de recuperação (Nicastri et al, 2013), achado que foi reportado no estudo.…”

Introdução: Durante o ciclo gravídico-puerperal ocorrem alterações fisiológicas que parecem promover quadro clínico grave devido à COVID-19. O objetivo do estudo foi identificar evidências científicas sobre as abordagens fisioterapêuticas realizadas em gestantes com COVID-19 em ambiente hospitalar. Método: Revisão integrativa da literatura realizada por meio do acesso às bases de dados BVS, Embase e MEDLINE com descritores, respectivamente, do DECS, Emtree e MESH em abril de 2021. Foram incluídos artigos oriundos de pesquisa original, na íntegra, em inglês, português ou espanhol, no recorte temporal de 2020 a março de 2021 e que apresentassem o desfecho primário. Resultados: Encontraram-se três artigos que empregaram condutas fisioterapêuticas direcionadas a gestantes com COVID-19. As principais complicações decorrentes da COVID-19 foram respiratórias e neurológicas. Foram empregadas técnicas respiratórias, mobilização precoce progressiva, exercícios terapêuticos, estímulo a posições verticalizadas e à deambulação. Conclusão: Assim, a revisão integrativa mostrou a importância do atendimento fisioterapêutico em ambiente hospitalar voltado a gestantes. Sugere-se que haja maior divulgação da atuação fisioterapêutica, especialmente, no que tange ao risco elevado de complicações no ciclo gravídico-puerperal e ao objetivo primário - recuperação funcional.

“…After 5 days, the patient improved significantly and at 2 weeks, there was no residual focal neurological deficit. berculosis, fungal sinusitis or other conditions leading to cranial nerve involvement, a total of 11 studies were enlisted (one systematic review and 10 other studies) in Table 1 [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. It is evident from the literature that cranial neuropathy can occur across all age groups (6-year-old child to 62-year-old adult), can involve various cranial nerves (2 nd , 3 rd , 5 th , 6 th , 7 th and even 10 th cranial nerve), often requires no drug treatment resolving with only rehabilitation and conservative management, sometimes require steroids and rarely additional drugs like Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG).…”
