Diagnosis

Erb's palsy is caused by damage to the brachial plexus which is a nerve network in the arm and shoulder. These nerves can be stretched or strained by a difficult delivery.

The most common reason is that there are difficulties during childbirth. It is usually caused when the fetus's size is greater than expected for vaginal birth, or when the baby's shoulders become stuck during the delivery. This is called shoulder dystocia and it is one of the main risk factors for Erb's palsy.

If a doctor puts too much pressure or fails to detect shoulder dystocia, it could result in injury to the upper nerves of the brachialplexus. Erb's Palsy is a result. The doctor can be held accountable for any injury that results from negligence.
