Causes

Erb's palsy is caused by damage to a nerve bundle close to the neck (the brachial plexus). These nerves control shoulder, arm and hand movements and sensation. Individuals who suffer from the condition experience weakness, numbness, or paralysis in one arm or shoulder.

The condition can be caused by a number of medical errors during labor and delivery. These include the use of forceps, a premature C-section or a doctor using an extractor vacuum to deliver an infant vaginally. The majority of cases of erb's palsy can be avoided. Doctors, nurses and midwives, as well as other medical professionals, are required to provide a high quality of care in the room where babies are born. They must ensure that the baby's shoulders are delivered through the vaginal canal and do not get stuck or entangled in the pelvic bones of the mother's.

Diagnosis

Erb's Palsy can be caused by damage to the brachialplexus, which is a network of nerves in the shoulder and arm. The nerves could be stretched or damaged by the difficulty of delivering.

The difficulties of childbirth are the most frequent reason for this issue. It typically occurs when the fetus is bigger than what is expected for vaginal birth, or when the baby's shoulders become stuck during delivery. This is known as shoulder dystocia. It's an important risk factor for Erb's palsy.

If a doctor applies excessive pressure or fails to recognize shoulder dystocia, it could result in injuries to the upper nerves of the brachialplexus. Erb's Palsy is a result. The doctor is liable for any damage caused by negligence.
