How Can Brachial Plexus Injuries Occur in Gynecology?
Brachial plexus injuries in the context of gynecology are relatively rare but can occur during childbirth, particularly during difficult labor and delivery. The most common scenario is shoulder dystocia, where the baby's shoulder becomes lodged behind the mother's pelvic bone. Excessive traction or manipulation to resolve this can stretch or tear the brachial plexus nerves.
