The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that carries signals from the spine to the shoulder, arm and hand.
Symptoms of injury
- a limp or paralyzed arm;
- poor muscle control in the arm, hand or wrist;
- loss of feeling in the arm or hand.
Causes
- shoulder trauma;
- tumors;
- inflammation;
- childbirth: when a baby's shoulders get stuck during delivery, the nerves can stretch or tear.
Recovery and treatment
Some injuries heal without treatment. Many babies injured at birth improve or recover by 3 to 4 months of age. Treatment includes physical therapy and, in some cases, surgery.
