Brachial Plexus Palsy

Brachial Plexus Palsy is a condition caused by damage to the brachial plexus, a network of nerves controlling movement and sensation in the arm. It often occurs during childbirth when excessive pulling on the infant’s head can stretch or tear these nerves. Symptoms can include weakness, lack of movement, or numbness in the affected arm. While some infants may recover fully over time, others may require physical therapy or surgery to improve function. Early diagnosis and intervention are important for better outcomes.
