In most cases of brachial plexus birth palsy, it is the upper nerves in the brachial plexus that are affected. This is known as Erb's palsy. The infant may not be able to move the shoulder, but may be able to move the fingers.

One of the most common causes of Erb's palsy is shoulder dystocia. Shoulder dystocia happens when a baby's head has emerged from the birth canal, but the shoulders become stuck. In an attempt to remove the baby from the birth canal, doctors may pull on the baby, causing undue stress on the neck and shoulder area.
What is brachial plexus palsy? A brachial plexus (BRAKE-ee-uhl PLEKS-uss) palsy happens when the nerves of the brachial plexus have been damaged. The brachial plexus is a set of nerves that control the muscles of the arm. Palsy means not being able to move muscles in an area (paralysis).
Also called Parsonage Turner syndrome, brachial neuritis is a rare, progressive disorder of the nerves of the brachial plexus. This syndrome causes sudden, severe shoulder and upper arm pain and progresses from pain to weakness, muscle loss and even loss of sensation.
The most common symptoms of a brachial plexus injury in children and adults include:A limp arm.Paralysis in your arm or hand.Diminished muscle control in your arm, hand or wrist.A lack of feeling or sensation (numbness) in your arm or hand.Pain in your arm, hand or wrist.
The 5 terminal branches of the brachial plexus are the musculocutaneous, median, ulnar, axillary, and radial nerves.
The brachial plexus is the network of nerves that sends signals from the spinal cord to the shoulder, arm and hand. A brachial plexus injury occurs when these nerves are stretched, compressed, or in the most serious cases, ripped apart or torn away from the spinal cord.
Erb's palsy vs. Erb's palsy is caused by damage to neck nerves, whereas cerebral palsy is caused by damage to the brain. Erb's palsy also differs from other brachial plexus injuries such as Klumpke's palsy. This condition is uncommon in babies and causes paralysis of the lower brachial plexus, affecting hand muscles.
Erb's palsy is a nerve condition in the shoulder and arm that results in weakness or loss of muscle function. The brachial plexus is a group of five nerves that connect the spine to the arm and hand. These nerves allow your shoulder, arms and hands to feel and move.
Erb palsy, or Erb-Duchenne paralysis, is one of the most common neurological birth injuries. It is caused by injury to the brachial plexus, which is formed from the ventral rami of cervical nerves 5-8 and thoracic nerve 1. The brachial plexus innervates all muscles of the upper limb except the trapezius.

Your provider may recommend physical therapy to keep the joints and muscles working properly, maintain range of motion, and prevent stiff joints. Surgery to repair brachial plexus nerves should generally occur within six months after the injury. Surgeries that occur later than that have lower success rates.

P14.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of erb's paralysis due to birth injury. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Erb's palsy or Erb–Duchenne palsy is a paralysis of the arm caused by injury to the upper group of the arm's main nerves, specifically the severing of the upper trunk C5–C6 nerves. These form part of the brachial plexus, comprising the ventral rami of spinal nerves C5–C8 and thoracic nerve T1. These injuries arise most commonly, but not exclusively, from shoulder dystocia during a difficult birth. Depending on the nature of the damage, the paralysis can either resolve on its own over a period of months, necessitate rehabilitative therapy, or require surgery.
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
P14.0 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Erb's paralysis due to birth injury . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .

spondylosis ( M47.-) A brachial plexus disorder characterized by regional paresthesia, pain and muscle weakness, and limited movement in the arm or hand. A condition marked by numbness, tingling, pain, weakness, or limited movement in the arm or hand.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G54.0 became effective on October 1, 2021.
If you have thoracic outlet syndrome (tos), the nerves or blood vessels just below your neck are compressed, or squeezed. It can be between the muscles of your neck and shoulder or between the first rib and collarbone. You may feel burning, tingling and numbness along your arm, hand, and fingers. If a nerve is compressed, you may also feel weakness in your hand. If a vein is compressed, your hand might be sensitive to cold, or turn pale or bluish. Your arm might swell and tire easily.tos can be a repetitive stress injury. An extra rib, scar tissue, traumatic injury or inherited defects can also cause tos. Treatment depends on what caused your tos. Medicines, physical therapy and relaxation might help. Surgery may also be an option. Most people recover.
Clinical Information. A brachial plexus disorder characterized by regional paresthesia, pain and muscle weakness, and limited movement in the arm or hand. A condition marked by numbness, tingling, pain, weakness, or limited movement in the arm or hand.
Symptoms are usually worst about 48 hours after they start. Scientists think that a viral infection makes the facial nerve swell or become inflamed. You are most likely to get bell's palsy if you are pregnant, diabetic or sick with a cold or flu.three in four patients improve without treatment.

Partial or complete paralysis of the facial muscles of one side of a person's face. It is caused by damage to the seventh cranial nerve. It is usually temporary but it may recur.
A syndrome characterized by the acute onset of unilateral facial paralysis which progresses over a 2-5 day period. Weakness of the orbicularis oculi muscle and resulting incomplete eye closure may be associated with corneal injury. Pain behind the ear often precedes the onset of paralysis.
Early signs of cerebral palsy usually appear before 3 years of age. Babies with cerebral palsy are often slow to roll over, sit, crawl, smile, or walk.
A heterogeneous group of nonprogressive motor disorders caused by chronic brain injuries that originate in the prenatal period, perinatal period, or first few years of life. The four major subtypes are spastic, athetoid, ataxic, and mixed cerebral palsy, with spastic forms being the most common. The motor disorder may range from difficulties with fine motor control to severe spasticity (see muscle spasticity) in all limbs. Spastic diplegia (little disease) is the most common subtype, and is characterized by spasticity that is more prominent in the legs than in the arms. Pathologically, this condition may be associated with leukomalacia, periventricular. (from dev med child neurol 1998 aug;40 (8):520-7)

Some babies are born with cerebral palsy; others get it after they are born. There is no cure for cerebral palsy, but treatment can improve the lives of those who have it. Treatment includes medicines, braces, and physical, occupational and speech therapy.
