abstract: Birth injuries are a significant cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Although often associated with traumatic delivery, birth injuries often occur in normal spontaneous deliveries in the absence of any risk factors. This article discusses the diagnosis and management of the most common birth injuries that are encountered by health care providers who care for newborns.
