What is Brachial Plexus Palsy?
Brachial plexus palsy (BPP) occurs when the nerves that control movement and sensation in your arm and hand are damaged. This damage typically results from trauma, most commonly birth injuries, but can also be caused by accidents, direct trauma, or certain medical procedures. The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that originates in the neck and descends through the shoulder, arm, and into the hand. When these nerves are stretched, compressed, or torn, it can lead to weakness, paralysis, and sensory loss in the affected arm and hand.
Common Causes of Brachial Plexus Palsy:
- Birth Injuries: The most frequent cause, often due to difficult deliveries, vacuum-assisted deliveries, or instruments used during birth.
- Accidents: Motor vehicle accidents, falls, and other trauma can damage the brachial plexus.
- Medical Procedures: In rare cases, surgical procedures can injure the nerves.
Symptoms of Brachial Plexus Palsy
Symptoms can vary depending on the severity of the injury. Common symptoms include:
- Weakness in the arm and hand
- Loss of sensation in the arm and hand
- Limited range of motion
- Muscle spasticity
- Difficulty with fine motor skills
