Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Femoral neuropathy is a rare complication of vaginal delivery that is often under-reported. It is marked by weakness and sensory loss in the lower limbs. This report presents 3 cases to outline possible prevention strategies, as well as to describe the process of diagnosis, management, and recovery for this injury.
CASES: Diagnosis is made clinically, and prognosis is determined by clinical follow-up along with nerve conduction studies and electromyography. Management involves interdisciplinary efforts with physiotherapy. Prevention includes frequent repositioning and avoidance of hip hyperflexion during labour. The expected recovery period ranges from 2 to 24 months.
CONCLUSION: Femoral neuropathy after vaginal delivery is under-reported. Though prognosis is often excellent, special attention to positioning during labour, prompt clinical diagnosis, and interdisciplinary management are essential for this rare injury.
