Article Excerpts about Brown-Sequard Syndrome
Brown-Sequard syndrome (BSS) is a rare neurological
condition characterized by a lesion on the spinal cord which results in
weakness or paralysis (hemiparaplegia) on one side of the body and a loss
of sensation (hemianesthesia) on the opposite side.
(Source: excerpt from NINDS Brown-Sequard Syndrome Information Page: NINDS)
Definitions of Brown-Sequard Syndrome:
A syndrome associated with injury to the lateral half of the spinal cord. The condition is characterized by the following clinical features (which are found below the level of the lesion): contralateral hemisensory anesthesia to pain and temperature, ipsilateral loss of propioception, and ipsilateral motor paralysis. Tactile sensation is generally spared. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p162).
