Causes

Erb's syndrome is caused by damage to a bundle of nerves close to the neck (the brachial plexus). These nerves are responsible for arm, shoulder and hand movement and sensation. Erb's Palsy causes weakness, numbness, or paralysis of the shoulder and arm.

This condition could result from the occurrence of a myriad of medical errors during labor and delivery, including forceps use or a C-section that was performed too early or a doctor not using a vacuum extractor properly during vaginal birth. However, a majority of cases of erb's syndrome are preventable. Midwives, doctors, and nurses along with other medical professionals, have a responsibility to provide a high quality of care in the birthing room. They must ensure the baby's shoulders are delivered via the vaginal canal and they don't get stuck or become lodged in the pelvic bone of the mother's.

Researchers have suggested that Erb's ailment may be caused by maternal contractions or the position of pregnant women. These theories haven't been proved.

Diagnosis

Erb's Palsy can be caused by injuries to the brachialplexus which is a network of nerves that run through the arm and shoulder. These nerves may become stretched or torn during a challenging delivery. This condition can cause weakness or paralysis in the affected arm. Doctors are accountable to identify the cause whenever they can.

The difficulties of childbirth are the most common cause of this problem. It typically occurs when the fetus is larger than the normal size for vaginal birth, or when the baby's shoulders get stuck during delivery. This is called shoulder dystocia and is one of the main risk factors for causing Erb's Palsy.

If a doctor makes use of excessive force or fails to identify the shoulder dystocia, it can lead to injury of the upper nerves in the brachial plexus. This can cause Erb's palsy. The doctor could be held accountable for any harm that results from negligence.

You must prove that your injuries were caused by the doctor's deviance from accepted medical practice to be able to win a case for medical malpractice.

This is a fairly common claim that can result in a large settlement and a lifetime of medical treatment for your child.
