V.P. Fedorov. About the paralysis of pregnant women Practical. Doctor 1910 No. 11, 12, 13

Abstract

Having described a case of central paralysis in one pregnant woman, the author, on the basis of this case and on the basis of the literature collected on this issue, comes to the conclusion that such diseases depend on autointoxication of the pregnant woman. In the case under consideration, there were no other causes of paralysis other than pregnancy, and the paralysis soon disappeared after childbirth. Numerous literary references to paralysis of a different nature in pregnant women fully confirm the author's idea. According to the author, pregnancy causes the body to produce some kind of gloxips, which, along with other specific diseases of pregnant women (uncontrollable vomiting, eclampsia, etc.), also cause diseases of the nervous system (various neuritis, paralysis, psychosis, etc.).
