Cerebral palsy often results from oxygen deprivation during birth, affecting a child's muscle control and coordination.

Erb's Palsy

This condition affects the brachial plexus nerves, potentially causing partial or complete paralysis of the arm.

Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE)

This serious condition occurs when the brain doesn't receive enough oxygen during birth, potentially leading to developmental delays or cognitive impairment.
