Abstract
Peripheral neuropathy is a general scientific term used to describe disorders of the peripheral nerves of any etiology. Along with postinfectious, diabetic, paraneoplastic, and alcoholic neuropathy, neuropathy of pregnancy represents one of the forms of this pathology. In this study, the authors conducted an analysis of domestic and foreign literature from open sources over the past 20 years. The study of available data revealed that the most common peripheral neuropathies observed during pregnancy are carpal tunnel syndrome, Bells palsy, and neuropathies affecting the lower extremities. Despite the paucity of information on peripheral neuropathy in pregnant women, its relevance is very high as it can significantly impair the quality of life during pregnancy and does not always disappear immediately after delivery, sometimes persisting for a certain period of time. The literature search was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, ScienceDirect, CyberLeninka, and RSCI databases using the following keywords: pregnancy; neuropathy; carpal tunnel syndrome; Bells palsy; review.
