Abstract: 
Since the beginning of the pandemic, SARS-CoV-2 infection has dominated clinical practice. In the treatment of high-risk populations, there has long been uncertainty about the extent and consequences of infection. This high-risk population includes pregnant patients. The establishment of clinical registry studies was able to contribute an assessment of the pandemic situation for this collective within a very short time and with enormous effort. Based on a clinical case, the following report describes the association between SARS-CoV-2 infection of a pregnant patient with clinical signs of preeclampsia to the development of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). Based on the case, the differential diagnostic workup between fulminant course of infection and preeclampsia is presented. The article presents the current data on the occurrence of PRES in pregnancy in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection and addresses possible differential diagnoses. Interdisciplinary care of the patient allows an overview of aspects of each specialty to be presented.
