It is generally thought that Klumpke's palsy is not seen as obstetric injury. The authors present a case of Klumpke's palsy with Horner syndrome following delivery by emergency Cesarean section. Neurolysis and nerve grafting partially corrected the paralysis.

BACKGROUND Cesarean section has been identified as one of the commonest indication for blood transfusion in obstetric practice because it involves risk of major intra-operative blood loss. Different figures varying from less than 500 ml to more than 1000 ml have been quoted as estimated blood loss associated with caesarean section. There is also a wide variation in blood ordering practices for ...

BACKGROUND While several studies have demonstrated the increased risk of pregnancy complications for women of advanced age, few studies have focused on women with very advanced age (≥ 45), despite the increasing rate of pregnancy among such women. Furthermore, how such risks of increase in age differ by maternal characteristics are also poorly understood. Thus, we aimed to clarify pregnant outc...

YES Cesarean section on demand can be defined as a primary cesarean section performed at the mother’s request in order to avoid a vaginal birth, without any recognized medical or obstetric indication for the procedure. The medical field now acknowledges a patient’s right to actively participate in her choice of medical treatments, including method of delivery.1 We have accepted that a patient i...

Ugwu et al., 2011 [1] in their publication, in the last issue of the amhsr, did remarkably well in pointing out an increase in the rate of cesarean sections. They also noted that “the perinatal outcome is poor especially following emergency cesarean section (94.3%). [1] Reducing primary cesarean section rate and more encouragement of vaginal birth after one previous cesarean section may reduce ...
