AB Neurologic  emergency  in  pregnancy  is  one  that  typically  presents  in  a  similar  manifestation  to  the  nonpregnant  patient.  The  presentation,  constellation  of  findings,  and  timing  of  symptoms  help  develop  the  differential  diagnosis;  however,  the  pregnant  state  increases  the  differential  diagnosis  with  pregnancy  specific  and  pregnancy  related  diseases.  Pregnancy  physiology  and  concern  for  the  fetus  can  additionally  make  the  evaluation  and  treatment  more  complex  because  of  changing  maternal  physiology,  as  well  as  need  to  care  for  the  maternal-fetal  dyad.
