Unusual Neurological Manifestation of Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Infection in a Postpartum Woman: A Case Report

Abstract

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the global spread of the disease (COVID-19) at present. Our understanding of the impact of the virus on the nervous system is limited. The involvement of CNS and neurological manifestations reports are further limited in obstetrical cases. We are reporting a case of an unusual presentation of COVID-19 infection in an admitted P2L2 postpartum woman who developed multiple episodes of seizures on postpartum day 8 of lower segment caesarean section, with no prior history of seizures or hypertension. This report will add to a rare neurological manifestation of COVID-19 in pregnancy.
