Neurologic sequelae after caesarean section

Abstract: Women after caesarean section under a spinal block seem to suffer more often from TNSs than non-pregnant women. The conclusions are, however, uncertain since we had no control group operated on under other than spinal anaesthesia. The persisting neurologic symptoms in two patients might also be due to the obstetric procedure itself. To find out about the validity and possible underlying causes of our results, we need randomised studies with control groups receiving epidural or general anaesthesia.

“…Transient neurologic symptoms (TNS) are the most common clinical symptoms, marked by pain in the lower limbs, hyposthesia or allergy. Occasionally, this is accompanied by weakness in the lower limbs or urinary retention (14,15). Numerous studies have been conducted in regard to peripheral neurotoxicity.…”
