    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Neurology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Neonatal nerve injuries are a significant concern.
    • Obstetrical trauma is a primary cause of these injuries.
    • Postnatal factors can also contribute to nerve damage in newborns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence and causes of neonatal nerve injuries.
    • To evaluate the outcomes of nerve injuries in neonates over a one-year follow-up period.
    • To provide recommendations for prevention and management of neonatal nerve injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • A clinical study involving 40 neonates with nerve injuries.
    • One-year follow-up to assess recovery.
    • Analysis of etiological factors including obstetrical and postnatal trauma.

    Main Results:

    • The incidence of neonatal nerve injuries was 1.50%.
    • Obstetrical trauma accounted for 33 cases, while postnatal trauma (e.g., intragluteal injection, tight splintage) affected 7 cases.
    • Complete recovery was observed in 76% of cases, with partial recovery in 17% and no recovery in 7%.

    Conclusions:

    • Neonatal nerve injuries are not uncommon.
    • Proper management significantly improves recovery rates.
    • Intragluteal injections in neonates are associated with nerve injury and should be avoided.
