Klumpkes Palsy

Klumpke’s palsy also known as Dejerine-Klumpke refers to paralysis of the lower brachial plexus. There are four types of brachial plexus injuries:

avulsion, the most severe type, in which the nerve is torn from the spine;
rupture, in which the nerve is torn but not at the spinal attachment;
neuroma, in which the nerve has torn and healed but scar tissue puts pressure on the injured nerve and prevents it from conducting signals to the muscles;
neuropraxia or stretch, in which the nerve has been damaged but not torn

Treatment for brachial plexus injuries includes physical therapy and, in some cases, surgery. The need and severity of these treatments is determined by the site and type of brachial plexus injury. The site determines the prognosis. For avulsion and rupture injuries, there is no potential for recovery unless surgical reconnection is made in a timely manner. The potential for recovery varies for neuroma and neuropraxia injuries.
