Erb Duchne Palsy

The Moro reflex is an

involuntary protective
motor response against
abrupt disruption of
body balance or
extremely sudden
stimulation

Waiters tip A typical

infant with Erb's palsy
lies with the affected
arm adducted at the
shoulder and internally
rotated, the elbow
extended, the forearm
pronated, and the
fingers and wrists
flexed.
Horner syndrome is a rare condition classically
presenting with partial ptosis (drooping or falling
of the upper eyelid), miosis (constricted pupil),
and facial anhidrosis (absence of sweating) due to
a disruption in the sympathetic nerve supply.
