AB Many  neurological  disorders  precede  pregnancy.  Most  affected  women  will  have  successful  perinatal  outcomes,  although  some  disorders  carry  specific  risks.  Other  women  will  have  new-onset  neurological  symptoms  during  pregnancy,  and  these  must  be  distinguished  from  pregnancy  complications.  Neurovascular  disorders  are  an  important  cause  of  maternal  mortality  and  accounted  for  more  than  7  percent  of  maternal  deaths  in  the  United  States  from  2007  through  2016  (Petersen,  2019).  Psychiatric  disorders  can  manifest  with  cognitive  and  neuromuscular  abnormalities  and  should  be  considered  in  the  evaluation  of  neurological  symptoms.
