Unfortunately, brachial plexus birth palsy, Erb\u2019s palsy, and other conditions arising from nerve damage continue to affect children in New York. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, brachial plexus birth palsy is usually a condition that results from injury to newborns<\/a> caused by those who deliver or assist in delivery when the nerves connected to a baby\u2019s fingers, arm, hand or neck are stretched. Less than one percent of newborns develop brachial plexus palsy. The seriousness of a condition is usually diagnosed by a pediatrician through an examination of weakness in a baby\u2019s arm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The most severe type of nerve damage, known as avulsion, occurs when a nerve is ruptured and separated or torn away from the spinal cord. This type of damage may be permanent. Other forms of nerve damage, also caused by stretching and strain on the neck or head during delivery, may result. If the injury is severe enough to cause scar tissue to form and affect healthy nerves, the damage caused may be permanent. If the upper nerves are damaged but not the lower nerves, the condition is known as Erb\u2019s palsy. Usually these injuries occur during a difficult delivery.<\/p>\n

Several symptoms may be present when there has been brachial plexus nerve damage<\/a>, as noted by John Hopkins Medicine. Avulsion results in \u201ca burning, crushing type of pain.\u201d Other symptoms include paralysis, other pain, weakness and numbness or loss of feeling.<\/p>\n
