Abstract

Background: Congenital cervical spinal cord injury usually is attributed to intrapartum mechanical trauma. Case: A fetal cervical spinal cord hemorrhage presented as congenital isolated upper extremity ('cruciate') paralysis and muscle atrophy after an atraumatic delivery. Timely neonatal diagnosis and surgery resulted in complete recovery. Conclusion: Paralysis may result from atraumatic spinal cord injuries occurring in the antepartum period.
