  • Title: Acute spinal cord injury in pregnancy: an illustrative case and literature review.
    Author: Popov I, Ngambu F, Mantel G, Rout C, Moodley J.
    Journal: J Obstet Gynaecol; 2003 Nov; 23(6):596-8. PubMed ID: 14617457.
    Abstract:
    Acute trauma is not all that uncommon in pregnancy. It accounts for 15% of non-obstetric maternal deaths. Moreover, about 15% of acute spinal cord injuries involve young women of childbearing age (Gilson et al., 1995). Most of the existing literature on spinal cord injury in pregnancy is concerned with the management of patients with pre-existing lesions; very few articles deal with acute injuries. We report the management of a case of acute spinal cord injury in the third trimester of pregnancy and review the major clinical issues associated with such cases.
