| Popis: | Neurological complications after labor and delivery are most often caused by compressive trauma related to childbirth and rarely related to neuraxial anesthesia/analgesia. However, it is important for anesthesiologists to be able to recognize the common manifestations of these neuropathies in order to distinguish them from more ominous causes of neurologic disease. In this article, we review the anatomy and etiology of postpartum thoracolumbar spinal cord, lumbar nerve roots, plexus, and lower extremity peripheral nerve injuries. We will focus on a practical approach to their diagnosis, management, and treatment. Cases will be used to illustrate diagnosis and management. |
