“…28,29 In one meta-analysis, patients with severe COVID-19 had an incidence of 3.37%, whereas patients without severe disease had an incidence of 0.6%. 30 It is difficult to know the true incidence of stroke in COVID-19, in part due to critically ill patients-who are at the highest risk of stroke-often being intubated. We suspect that incidence of CVA in critically ill patients is underestimated because (1) patients are too sick to be transported for brain imaging, (2) neurologic examinations are limited in patients on sedation used for mechanical ventilation/proning leading to an underappreciation of potential deficits, and (3) patients die before imaging can occur or a meaningful neurologic examination can be completed.…”

“…Studies investigating neurological damage post-COVID-19 usually included the first year of the pandemic and patients were not followed for more than 2 years 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 . While these studies investigated neurological complications in inpatients, post-discharge patients were not investigated.…”

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.
