A Unique Constellation of Multiple Cranial Neuropathies in a Patient with Preeclampsia

In conclusion, multiple cranial neuropathies may occur in and even be a presenting symptom of preeclampsia. In this study, we report the first case of multiple cranial neuropathies involving cranial nerves IX, X, XI, and XII in a patient with preeclampsia. Possible pathogenic mechanisms of cranial neuropathy in preeclampsia include immune-mediated neuropathy with or without demyelination, microvascular thromboses, and perineural edema.Case Rep Neurol 2022;14:256 –260
