Podcast 578: Brown-Sequard Syndrome

Author: Eric Miller, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Brown-Sequard Syndrome is a neurological deficit that results from hemisection of the spinal cord
  • This is usually from traumatic injury (blunt or penetrating), but can rarely be seen with cancer, disc herniation, or infection
  • It presents with flaccid paralysis and loss of sensation to touch/vibration/position on the same side as the injury with loss of pain/temperature sensation on the opposite side of the injury. These deficits will be below the level of injury.
