Acute neurological conditions during pregnancy and their management: a review.
International Journal of Adolescent Medicine and Health 2021 August 24
Less vascular resistance, higher vascular permeability and improved cardiac output include anatomical and physiological changes related to pregnancy. These are needed to accommodate an increase in plasma volume and ensure significant organ infusion. Nevertheless, increases in oestrogen levels may lead to an increase in the risk of coagulation and thrombosis. Increased levels of progesterone increase the risk of thrombosis due to vasodilation, vascular stasis and edoema in these situations. The increased resistance in preeclampsia maternal systemic blood arteries can create high blood pressure that can interfere with blood flow in numerous organs (including liver, kidneys, brain and placenta). The risk of issues such as pulmonary edoema, placental abruption, pneumonia of aspiration, renal failure, hepatic failure and stroke in pregnant women is increased by Preeclampsia and eclampsia. Some peripheral neuropathies (carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral facial palsy) and central neurological conditions (seizure, migraine, stroke, epilepsy) may become more common during pregnancy because of the exacerbation of the pre-existing neurologic condition or the onset of neurological disturbance caused by pregnancy physiological changes (such as headache or vascular disorders). During the three trimesters of pregnancy, neurological disorders are both peripheral and central. Therefore, an early and correct diagnosis is required to improve pregnancy care, treatment and perinatal outcomes. The aims of this paper are to identify, define and manage the most prevalent peripheral and centrally occurring neurological disorders in the pregnancy.
