Upper Brachial Plexus Syndrome

Erb's Duchenne syndrome or paralysis is a rare genetic disease that manifests itself in boys in infancy, gradually developing such abnormalities as:

- Regression in the development of the legs, and then the arms, and speech is impaired. - The torso becomes asymmetrical.

In the development of the disease, heredity is of greatest importance; it is usually inherited in a recessive manner and is transmitted from mothers to men. In the case of homozygous recessive heredity, the disease manifests itself from birth, and even with heterozygosity, a child can be born healthy, and subsequently, when ill, have very different symptoms from brothers or sisters. With the disease, not only a lag behind peers is noted, but also various developmental anomalies. In addition, patients with Duchenne-Erb syndrome most often experience damage to the anterior and lateral chains of the spinal cord, up to descending paralysis of the upper shoulder girdle with noticeable damage to the brachial and cervical spinal cord.
