Erb's palsy is a common birth injury in which damage to the baby's nerves during birth results in paralysis of the arm. Erb's palsy is a traumatic process involving mostly C5-C6 and the brachial plexus, the network of nerves that traverse the axilla from the cord to the arm. • When a child has Erb's palsy, the affected arm will appear to hang limp and rotated inward. The child usually cannot move the arm normally and it may appear smaller than the other arm. • Sometimes, these injuries resolve and the child suffers no ill consequences. This is the case in 80-90% of Erb's Palsy cases, particularly if the child makes progress within a few weeks after birth. Regrettably, in a minority of Erb's Palsy cases, the child can have a life-altering permanent injury. • How Erb's Palsy Happens • Erb's palsy occurs when certain nerves within the brachial plexus nerve junction are damaged during childbirth. The brachial plexus is a key network of nerves running from the spine through the shoulders and down into the arms. This nerve channel serves to transmit brain signals to the arms and hands. Injury to certain nerves within the brachial plexus disrupts the signals from the brain to the arm resulting in the paralysis classified as Erb's palsy. • Why Erb's Palsy Happens? • The greatest risk factors Erb's palsy are macrosomia (often from maternal diabetes) and shoulder dystocia. • In the classic Erb's palsy case our birth injury lawyers see, the baby's injury is caused by excessive pulling or stretching during childbirth. This can happen in a variety of ways. Misuse of a vacuum or forceps are common causes as is too much manual force by the OB. • Does My Child Have Erb's Palsy • There are three symptoms that doctors and parents commonly see with Erb's palsy: • 1. holding the arm abnormally close to the body • 2. difficulty moving the arm • 3. difficulty gripping objects or making a fist • Avulsion Injuries • The most severe type of brachial plexus injury is an avulsion. An avulsion is where the main nerve root at one of the C5 - T1 levels is ripped away from the spinal cord. This is a devastating injury that takes away motor function and sensory function to the arm. • Rupture Injuries • Another brachial plexus injury nerve rupture. A ruptured nerve is torn in half, but not at the spinal cord attachment. • Neuropraxia • The brachial plexus can also be injured by neuropraxia or stretch. This is the most common form of brachial plexus and many kids do make a good recovery from it. In these cases, the nerve is damaged, but not torn. • Erb's Palsy Malpractice • The injury to the brachial plexus nerves that causes Erb's palsy is something that can happen because of trauma during childbirth. Defense lawyers and their experts will swear up and down otherwise. But the little science they have to support their theories. Often, the authors connect back to those who want to stop birth injury lawsuits. • The most common cause of Erb's palsy is excessive stretching or lateral traction of the baby's head and neck as the child passes through the birth canal. During a vaginal delivery, the baby will often become stuck in the birth canal. • Erb's palsy is frequently the result of negligent care by doctors during labor and delivery. Excessive force or lateral traction during a difficult vaginal delivery is the most common cause. • Getting a Lawyer to Help You • If your child has Erb's palsy, call the birth injury lawyers at Miller Zois for a free consultation.
