2003 NOV 6 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Common findings are seen in breech delivery-related brachial plexus palsy.
According to recent research published in the journal Annals of Plastic Surgery, "a review of the English literature revealed that only two birth palsy centers have specifically reviewed their experience with obstetrical palsy associated with breech delivery. The aim of this paper is to review the authors' center's experience with birth palsy associated with breech delivery, compare their epidemiological and surgical findings with previous studies, and describe their management approach to this unique injury. A total of 34 limbs were studied."
"Erb's palsy was seen in 32 limbs and total palsy was seen in the remaining 2 limbs. The mean birth weight was low (2.3 kg). Six patients had bilateral lesions and 3 patients had phrenic nerve palsy.
