Postpartum femoral neuropathy.

The Journal of reproductive medicine, 1982
Two cases of postpartum femoral neuropathy occurred. The literature on this subject is reviewed, and possible etiologic mechanisms are discussed. Complete functional recovery is typical of the excellent prognosis of puerperal femoral neuropathy. The importance of recognizing this complication is to predict a favorable prognosis and thus eliminate ...
