Erb's Palsy commonly occurs when an infant's shoulder becomes trapped behind the mother's pelvic bone, and a doctor does not act quickly to relieve the complication. Often, the attending doctor actually aggravates the birth injury by trying to forcibly extract an infant whose shoulder is trapped.
Explanation of terms
- The condition of an in-utero child's should becoming stuck is known as "shoulder dystocia."
- The brachial plexus is a mass of nerves in the armpit; it is responsible for transmitting nerve signals to the arm.
- The damage to the brachial plexus due to shoulder dystocia can paralyze parts of the arm.
