Abstract
A case of obstetrical paralysis which presented as a bilateral Erb''s palsy was found at necropsy to be due to selective ischaemic necrosis of the grey matter in the cervical part of the spinal cord. It is suggested that this necrosis was caused by severe impairment of the circulation through the cord due to hyperextension of the neck.Keywords
