Birth injury spotlight: what are symptoms of Erb?s palsy

ADVERTISEMENTS

In general, there are four types of nerve injuries common in birth injuries.
1. A stretch injury that ?shocks? but does not tear the nerve. Normally, these heal on their own.
2. A stretch injury that damages some of the nerve fibers may result in scar tissue. This is called ?neuroma.? Some, but not total, recovery usually occurs.
3. A stretch injury that causes the nerve to be torn apart. This will not heal on its own.
