Brachial plexus is created by the ventral rami of spinal nervers C5-T1, with C4 and T2 contributing to the creation of the plexus on rare occasions. It gives rise to a variety of motor and sensory nerves that innervate the upper limb, including the median, ulnar, musculocutaneous, and cutaneous nerves of the arm and forearm, among others. Trauma and birth injuries can harm these nerves, resulting in disabilities such as erb's palsy, which makes it difficult to carry out day-to-day tasks. As a result, the study's goal is to compile knowledge about the brachial plexus, how it is harmed, and what the consequences are. To achieve this goal, a literature review was conducted utilising various databases such as Scielo, PubMed, Medline, Researchgate, and others. Surfing terminology included brachial plexus, brachial plexus injuries, and brachial plexus significance. Erb's point injury is most common in children who are delivered using forceps. Erb's palsy is the name for the malformation. Similarly, injuries to the lower trunk, lateral, and medial cords can result in a variety of abnormalities. Thus, neurosurgeons need a thorough understanding of the brachial plexus in order to recognise the handicap and treat the malformation.
