Parálisis de plexo braquial obstétrico

Abstract

Brachial plexus palsy is a neonatal injury that happens very frequently that often goes undi- agnosed. It is a common occurrence that patients with this disease start control later in life with great repercussions in their overall extremity function. With development in new tech- niques in the microsurgical field we've been able to do surgeries at much an earlier stage in life with better outcomes and prognosis. The purpose of this review is for the reader to know all the different aspects of this disease starting from its origin, how to diagnose it and to know all the different treatments techniques that are at our disposal from physical and occupational therapy to all the different surgical approaches. This way we are going to create more aware- ness about this problem to better treat our patients in the future, all of this will lead to better outcomes and less catastrophic repercussions.

La patología del plexo braquial obstétrico es una que ocurre con cierta frecuencia y que en el medio pasa desapercibida con inicios de control tardíos y con grandes repercusiones futu- ras para el paciente. Con el paso del tiempo se han logrado avances importantes desde el punto de vista microquirúrgico que ayudan a realizar procedimientos con mayor tasa de re- cuperación a temprana edad, mejorando el futuro funcional del paciente. El objetivo de esta revisión es dar a conocer los diferentes aspectos de esta patología, desde su origen hasta todas las opciones de tratamiento, como terapia física y rehabilitación, y todos los procedimientos quirúrgicos que se tienen al disposición. De esta manera, se crea consciencia para darle un mejor manejo al paciente en el futuro.
