Study on Obstetrical Brachial Plexus Palsy in Respect of Electrophysiologic Features and Functional Outcome

Cortical dysplasia and obstetrical brachial plexus palsy.

We report 2 patients with obstetrical brachial plexus palsy, ipsilateral leg weakness, and contralateral motor cortical dysplasia. To our knowledge, this is the first description of such an association. In both cases, the diagnosis of obstetrical brachial plexus palsy was established clinically shortly after birth and later confirmed neurophysiologically. Motor cortex dysplasia was diagnosed by...

Upper extremity kinematics analysis in obstetrical brachial plexus palsy.

INTRODUCTION Several recent studies demonstrate that upper extremities kinematics analysis is in increasing use to assist clinical practice. We describe an upper limb kinematics analysis protocol that was first applied to a group of healthy children (to obtain normative data), and subsequently, to a child presenting with obstetrical brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) before and after surgical treatme...

Nerve Transfer for Elbow Extension in Obstetrical Brachial Plexus Palsy.

Dear Editor, The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the option of triceps muscle restoration by means of selective neurotisation of the radial nerve in children suffering from obstetrical brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) during their early years of life. Early nerve surgery, which includes both brachial plexus reconstruction and nerve transfers, is generally accepted as the best option for treatin...

a study on the risk factors for obstetrical brachial plexus palsy

objective considerable medical and legal debates have surrounded the prognosis and outcome of obstetrical brachial plexus injuries and obstetricians are often considered responsible for the injury. in this study, we assessed the factors related to the outcome of brachial plexus palsy. material & methods during 24 months, 21 neonates with obstetrical brachial plexus injuries were enrolled. elect...
