Intrinsic Obstetric Palsy: Case Report and Literature Review
Maternal neurological injuries may be intrinsic to the labour and delivery process or may result directly or indirectly from obstetric or anaesthetic intervention. This intrinsic obstetric palsy is a rare complication of labour but can have devastating impact on a previously healthy mother. A 23-y...

| description | Maternal neurological injuries may be intrinsic to the labour and delivery process or may result directly or indirectly from obstetric or
anaesthetic intervention. This intrinsic obstetric palsy is a rare complication of labour but can have devastating impact on a previously
healthy mother. A 23-year-old gravida1, para0 who had epidural for labour analgesia, was augmented for slow progress and had a
normal vaginal delivery. She was diagnosed post delivery with intrinsic obstetric palsy involving several peripheral nerves and lumbosacral
nerve roots with a guarded prognosis. In this article we have discussed the risk factors and mechanisms of intrinsic obstetric palsy and
proposed further investigation into the potential protective role of ambulatory analgesia i.e. CSE (Combined Spinal Epidural) or LDI (Low
Dose Infusion). |
