Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome-related coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) has devastating effects on the population worldwide. Given this scenario, the extent of the impact of the disease on more vulnerable individuals, such as pregnant women, is of great concern. Although pregnancy may be a risk factor in respiratory virus infections, there are no considerable differ ences regarding COVID-19 severity observed between preg nant and nonpregnant women. In these circumstances, an emergent concern is the possibility of neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric harm for the offspring of infected mothers. Currently, there is no stronger evidence indicating vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2; however, the exacer bated inflammatory response observed in the disease could lead to several impairments in the offspring’s brain. Further more, in the face of historical knowledge on possible long term consequences for the progeny’s brain after infection by viruses, we must consider that this might be another delete rious facet of COVID-19. In light of neuroimmune interac tions at the maternal-fetal interface, we review here the pos sible harmful outcomes to the offspring brains of mothers infected by SARS-CoV-2.
