Title : Delivery modalities and challenges in cerebral palsy patients: A case study
Abstract:
Cerebral palsy (CP) presents unique challenges during pregnancy and delivery due to associated motor impairments, comorbidities, and sensory deficits. As medical advancements increase the number of women with CP reaching childbearing age, tailored obstetric care becomes essential. This case study examines the delivery of a 23-year-old primigravida at 34 weeks gestation with chronic hypertension and CP, who had undergone multiple surgeries for limb contracture correction. Due to her limited range of motion, inability to feel contractions, unstable lie, and hypertensive emergency, a cesarean section was performed. This case highlights the importance of personalized care for CP patients, focusing on physical limitations and potential sensory deficits to optimize maternal and fetal outcomes.
