Permanent brachial plexus injury following vaginal delivery without physician traction or shoulder dystocia

Henry M Lerner et al. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2008 Mar.

Abstract

A vaginal delivery that resulted in a permanent brachial plexus injury unassociated with shoulder dystocia or physician traction is reported by the delivering physician. This case demonstrates unequivocally that not all permanent brachial plexus injury at vaginal birth is due to physician traction.
