Klumpkes Palsy :: Medical Negligence Solicitors

Klumpkes palsy is caused by injury to the brachial plexus which is a network of nerves that run from the neck, across the shoulder and down the arm that control movement of the fingers, hand and arm. Klumpkes palsy specifically relates to damage caused to the seventh and eighth cervical and first thoracic nerves which results in a limp hand and motionless fingers. Klumpkes palsy may be associated with Horners syndrome which causes a droopy eye and small pupil size.
