Abstract
Neurological insult caused by nerve injury due to birth trauma is, unfortunately, a relatively common event. The two most common injuries are facial nerve injury and brachial plexus injury (BPI). This article will discuss the following aspects of birth trauma-related neurological/nerve injury: incidence, epidemiology, pathophysiology, assessment, treatment, and outcomes. Implications for practice are also described.
