ABSTRACT

Since 2019, The Coronavirus Disease (COVID19) has emerged as a global health concern. Various kinds of disorders like the vascular involvement along with neurological complications continue to be reported worldwide. In this case report we describe the case of a 28 year old Female who was antenatal (6.5 months) presented with Genereliazed Tonic Clonic Convulsions of duration more than 30 minutes which upon investigations turned out to be a case of subdural bleed and upon Nasopharyngeal swab testing revealed to be COVID19 positive case. Though the patient underwent urgent craniotomy and evacuation of hematoma was done, the patient ultimately succumbed leading to maternal mortality. Thus, this case report is an attempt to draw attention towards the maternal mortality caused due to COVID19 which we tend to overlook.
