Erb’s Palsy (Erb-Duchenne palsy)

A

C5 and C6 ventral rami torn or superior trunk
nerves affected: axillary, musculocutaneous, suprascapular
Signs: Loss of flexion (biceps brachii, deltoid), abduction (deltoid suprspinatus), and lateral rotation of shoulder/arm (deltoid, infraspinatus, teres minor). Loss of flexion of forearm (biceps brachii, brachioradialis, brachialis) weakness of supination (biceps brachii, brachioradialis)
Position: waiter’s tip

A

C8 and T1 ventral rami or inferior trunk or torn or severed
Effects: medial cutaneous nn. of arm and forearm, ulnar n., and part of median n.
Motor: lost of wrist flexion, and intrinsic muscles of the hand, total claw hand– due to loss of function of lumbricals and interossei, atrophy of intrinsic muscles of hand (Simian hand), weakness of grip at digits IV and V

43
Q

Horner’s syndrome

44
Q

Posterior cord injury (“Saturday night palsy”)

A

Injury to posterior cord of brachial plexus
Affects: radial n.
Motor: loss of extension of elbow and triceps reflex (triceps brachii and anconeus) = flexion of elbow
Weakness of forearm flexion (brachioradialis)
Loss of wrist extension and weakness of ulnar and radial deviation (extensor carpi ulnaris, extensor carpi radialis longus and brevis mm.) = wrist flexion
Loss of extension of MCP joints of fingers (extensor digitorum, extensor indicis, extensor digit minimi) = flexion of MCP joints
Loss of extension and abduction of the thumb (extensor pollicis longus and brevis, abductor pollicis longus) = flexion/adduction of the thumb
Sign: Hand is flexed and wrist flaccid “wrist drop”, forearm pronated, thumb adducted, flexed and opposed, fingers flexed.
