If the condition affects the hand, it is called Klumpke paralysis, a form of the condition that can cause the eyelid to droop on one side of the face. There are a few brachial plexus injuries, one of which is when the nerve is stretched to the point it partially tears, or ruptures. In some cases, difficult child labor causes stress or trauma on a newborn child, and as a result, must be given more attention in order to prevent the progression of such conditions. Did you know? Erb’s palsy can also result from a serious fall during adulthood. The fall can cause nerves to become severely damaged and could affect the shoulder head and neck.
