Diagnosis

Erb's palsy is caused by damage to the brachialplexus which is a system of nerves in the arm and shoulder. The nerves could be stretched or torn by an uneasy delivery.

Difficulties in childbirth are the most common reason for this. It typically occurs when the fetus's size is higher than the normal size for a vaginal birth or when the baby's shoulders get stuck during the delivery. This is called shoulder dystocia and is one of the main risks for developing Erb's - Palsy.

If a doctor uses excessive pressure or fails in recognizing shoulder dystocia, it can result in damage to the upper nerves of the brachialplexus. Erb's spalsy is the result. The doctor could be held responsible for any damage caused by negligence.
