Abstract
(Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand. 2023;102:51–58) Women experience lower-limb neurological deficit following vaginal delivery at a rate of 0.1% to 2%. The manifestation varies between transient with resolution within weeks to significant discomfort and prolonged disability. To better understand risk factors that contribute to this occurrence, maternal characteristics were assessed including neurological history, maternal obesity, nulliparity, gestational age >41 weeks, labor positions, prolonged labor duration, large newborn weight, instrumental delivery, epidural analgesia, and cephalopelvic disproportion. Better understanding of the mechanism of this injury may allow for prevention.
