Rezumat: Physiological changes during normal pregnancy may
contribute to the clinical onset of a variety of pregnancy-related
complications. In the third trimester of pregnancy or
in the first week postpartum, there is a higher risk of viral
reactivation, as well as much more frequent pregnancy
complications, such as hypertensive disorders and gestational
diabetes. Considerably higher than in nonpregnant
population, Bell’s palsy or the idiopathic peripheral facial
palsy has a higher rate in pregnancy, especially in the third
trimester or postpartum. The condition usually resolves spontaneously
or with minimal treatment, although in some cases it may require a complex management. Further studies that compare treatment dosage, therapeutic agents and time of recovery when treating Bell’s palsy are needed to update the currently management. Cuvinte cheie: Bell’s palsy, pregnancy complications,
preeclampsia.
