“…This similarity in symptoms can lead to delayed recognition of ACMs or misattribution of symptoms solely to the physiological changes of pregnancy. Consequently, there is a risk of overlooking the presence of ACMs and delaying appropriate diagnostic evaluation [ 12 ].…”

Arnold-Chiari malformations (ACMs) present unique challenges in pregnancy and labor, requiring a comprehensive understanding and multidisciplinary approach to care. This review article provides an overview of ACMs, including their definition, classification, and prevalence. The challenges in diagnosing ACMs during pregnancy, the available imaging modalities, and screening recommendations are discussed. The impact of ACMs on maternal health, fetal development, and the management strategies employed during pregnancy and labor are explored. Emphasis is placed on the importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving neurologists, obstetricians, and other specialists. Medical management options for symptom relief, surgical interventions, and anesthetic considerations during labor and delivery are also addressed. The importance of postpartum care, breastfeeding considerations, and long-term follow-up for women with ACMs who desire future pregnancies are highlighted. Finally, areas for further research and advancements in ACM management are identified. By improving our understanding and management of ACMs in pregnancy and labor, healthcare professionals can optimize care and improve outcomes for mothers and babies affected by this condition.

“…Previous research has examined various symptoms, including heartburn, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, pelvic girdle pain, and sleep disturbances, along with their association with mental health and overall quality of life. This body of work has provided valuable insights into the practical challenges of pregnancy (Dunbar et al, 2022; Liu et al, 2022; Sathyaprabha et al, 2022; Serna-Hoyos et al, 2022; Yang et al, 2022). However, it is essential to acknowledge that studying these symptoms in isolation may not fully capture the comprehensive symptom burden experienced during pregnancy.…”

Prenatal depression is highly prevalent, but its relationship with the multidimensional burden of physical symptoms during pregnancy remains underexplored. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between pregnancy-related physical symptom burden, including frequency, severity, and impact on life and pregnancy adaptation to prenatal depression, and to identify predictors of depression during pregnancy. The study was cross-sectional in design. A hospital-based setting providing comprehensive maternity care services from outpatient to inpatient. The sample consisted of two hundred forty-three pregnant individuals aged 20 and above with no major obstetrical complications. Structured questionnaires including demographic and obstetrical characteristics, depression, symptom burden, and pregnancy adaptation were used for data collection. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to identify significant predictors of depression. The study revealed that approximately 32% of the variance in depression scores could be explained by the combined effects of pregnancy-related physical symptom burden and pregnancy adaptation. Specifically, low-level pregnancy adaptation, high-level symptom impact on life, unmarried status, and mid-level symptom severity were identified as the main predictors of prenatal depression among low-risk pregnant individuals. The findings contribute to the existing knowledge base, emphasizing the significance of addressing and managing pregnancy-related physical symptom burden while promoting effective adaptation to pregnancy as a means to mitigate the risk of prenatal depression.

“…For every 1000.000 instances reported in the United States per year, 32 pregnant patients see primary care physicians for vertigo, and at least 50% of pregnant women would experience vertigo and or dizziness frequently during the first two gestational trimesters [7,8]. However, there are some facing challenges for practitioners regarding diagnosis, clinical manifestations, and vestibular testing in pregnant patients.…”

Pregnancy includes several physical, hormonal, and psychological changes from conception to labor. The vestibular system is also affected during this life cycle and several challenges in patients who present vertigo or vestibular disorders during this time still being unregistered and there is a lack of information about how the vestibular system is affected during pregnancy, clinical and physiological correlation, and the expected results of vestibular testing in this population. Herein, we performed a review of expected physiological, clinical and vestibular testing results in pregnant patients to get the deepest understanding of the vestibular phenomenon during this time.
