  • Title: Neuromuscular disorders in pregnancy.
    Author: Sax TW, Rosenbaum RB.
    Journal: Muscle Nerve; 2006 Nov; 34(5):559-71. PubMed ID: 16969835.
    Abstract:
    Many neuromuscular conditions occur more frequently during pregnancy and include carpal tunnel syndrome, Bell's palsy, lumbosacral radiculopathy, meralgia paresthetica, intercostal neuralgia, and other compression neuropathies. Preexisting or coincident neuromuscular diseases, including demyelinating polyneuropathies, inflammatory muscle disease, myasthenia gravis, and inherited nerve and muscle disease present specific problems during pregnancy. We review management of neuromuscular disorders during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the early postpartum period.
