A Case Report of Acute Disseminated Encephalomyelitis in a Pregnant Woman After COVID-19 Infection

Öz:
A 32-year-old multiparous woman at 29 weeks of gestation developed dizziness, fainting, meaningless and difficult speech, stiffness in the extremities, and movement limitation following the non-severe coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) infection. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed hyperintense lesions in the white matter on T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences. The COVID-19 nasopharyngeal swab test in our center resulted negative; however, the serum COVID-19 antibody was positive. The cerebrospinal fluid was clear, no pathogen was reproduced in the culture, and the oligoclonal band was negative. Intravenous pulse steroid therapy and six cycles of plasmapheresis were administered. The symptoms improved partially; however, full recovery could not be achieved despite the treatment. This case emphasizes that acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, which can have severe consequences, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neurological symptoms in pregnant women who are infected with COVID-19.

Gebelikte COVID-19 Enfeksiyonu Sonrası Gelişen Akut Dissemine Ensefalomiyelit Olgu Sunumu

Öz:
Otuz iki yaşında, 29 haftalık hamile bir kadında, şiddetli olmayan koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 (COVID-19) enfeksiyonunun ardından baş dönmesi, bayılma, anlamsız ve zor konuşma, ekstremitelerde sertlik ve hareket kısıtlılığı gelişti. Beyin manyetik rezonans görüntülemede beyaz cevherde T2 ağırlıklı ve sıvı sıvı zayıflatılmış inversiyon kurtarma (fluid-attenuated inversion recovery, FLAIR) sekanslarda hiperintens lezyonlar gözlendi. Merkezimizde yapılan COVID-19 nazofaringeal sürüntü testi negatif sonuçlanırken, serum COVID-19 antikor testi pozitif çıktı. Beyin omurilik sıvısı berraktı, kültürde patojen üremedi ve oligoklonal bant negatifti. İntravenöz pulse steroid tedavisi ve altı kür plazmaferez uygulandı. Tedaviye rağmen semptomlar kısmen düzelse de tam iyileşme sağlanamadı. Bu olgu, COVID-19 ile enfekte gebelerde nörolojik semptomların varlığında ciddi sonuçları olabilen akut dissemine ensefalomiyelitin ayırıcı tanıda düşünülmesi gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır.
