Facial Paralysis at Birth: Pressure Necrosis, Prolonged Labor & Shoulder Dystocia

Facial Paralysis at Birth: Pressure Necrosis, Prolonged Labor & Shoulder Dystocia Facial paralysis in a newborn can be frightening. In this video, birth injury attorney Adam Funk explains how pressure necrosis during labor can lead to facial nerve damage and long-term complications. Pressure necrosis occurs when a baby’s face becomes compressed in the birth canal for an extended period of time. When blood flow to facial tissue is restricted, the nerves controlling facial movement can become injured. In some cases, this damage is temporary. In others, the injury can be permanent. Signs of facial nerve injury at birth may include: • Drooping on one side of the face • Difficulty blinking • Trouble feeding or chewing • An asymmetric cry Complicated deliveries — especially those involving shoulder dystocia or prolonged labor — increase the risk of facial compression. When warning signs appear, medical providers must act quickly. That may mean repositioning, performing proper maneuvers, or moving to an emergency C-section to prevent further injury. While many cases of newborn facial paralysis resolve, some injuries may have been preventable with timely intervention and appropriate delivery management. If your child was born with facial weakness following a difficult delivery, it may be important to review the medical records to determine whether proper care was provided.
