Erb- Duchenne palsy

Cause

Traction or tear of the superior trunk of the brachial plexus (C5 & C6 roots)
; follows falling down on shoulder or trauma during delivery

Findings

  • limb hangs by side ( paralysis of abductors )
  • medially rotated ( paralysis of lateral rotators )
  • forearm is pronated ( loss of biceps )

  • Right recurrent laryngeal nerve

  wraps around right subclavian artery.

  • Damages results in hoarseness as a complication of thyroid surgery.

 

 

 

Lung relations

  • Right lung has three lobes. Left has two lobes and Lingula ( homologue of right middle lobe ).
  • Right lung more common site are for inhaled foreign body owing to less acute angle of right main stem bronchus
  • Relation of pulmonary artery to the bronchus at each lung hilus : RALS ( Right-Anteior, Left-Superior )
  • Bronchial & Pulmonary artery run with airways in the center, veins and lymphatics drain along the border
