It's like Erb Plays. Axillary, suprascapularis and musculocutaneous nerve damages.

9 lb isn't that big of a baby... I made it out okay. Definitely should've made the baby bigger to make the answer more clear

swagcabana More than 8 lbs is by definition macrosoma +1

skonys Shoulder Dystocia low key played a part one of the most deadly conflicts in history. Kaiser Wilhelm II was born breech and suffered SD which resulted in a brachial plexus injured which left his arm crippled. In pics he's shown hiding his arm or having it propped on a sword hilt or cane as to make it's small length not apparent but if you're looking for it it's pretty obvious. He always blamed the British Dr who delivered him. His father had throat cancer and was sent, against Wilhelms desires, to doctors in the UK where he died. In April 1889 he stated in fury "An English doctor killed m father, and an English doctor crippled my arm – which is the fault of my mother" (who was English). This sentiment continued up until a lil war broke our in 1914 +3

PCA stroke can cause "prosopagnosia" which is the inability to recognize familiar faces. Caused by bilateral lesions of visual association areas, which are situated in the inferior occipitotemporal cortex (fusiform gyrus). The ability to name parts of the face (e.g., nose, mouth) or identify individuals by other cues (e.g., clothing, voices) is left intact.

Without knowing that, remembering occipital lobe is involved in 'visual stuff' broadly, including image processing and this patient is having issues with understanding images should be enough to get to the answer.

gonyyong Lol I guessed it exactly because of that +8

sympathetikey Never heard of that one before. Thanks! +1

karthvee This is not prosopagnosia, but instead a case of apperceptive agnosia. Wiki: "...patients are more effective at naming two attributes from a single object than they are able to name one attribute on each of the two superimposed objects. In addition they are still able to describe objects in detail and recognize objects by touch." Although, lesions tend to be in the occipito-parietal area so PCA again is the answer! +3

misterdoctor69 I actually think it's both prosopagnosia AND apperceptive agnosia. She is neither able to recognize her mother's FACE nor is she able to recognize objects w/o the help of other senses (apperceptive agnosia) +2

nifty95 Yea couldn't remember the exact name but I just thought of three pathways (visual, somatosensation, and auditory) all converging somewhere/processor (probably somewhere in the temporal lobe...hippocampus?). Beyond the point, the pathways converge to an area which culminates in recognition. Cut off one of the routes (in this case visual), the other two will still work. How is visual cut off? By the PCA not supplying the area leading to neuronal death resulting in varying loss of visual function depending on the area in the occipital lobe. +1
