Brown-Sequard Syndrome belongs to neurology and relates to nervous-system structure, neurologic function, injury or a recognizable examination finding.
Brown-Sequard Syndrome belongs to neurology and relates to nervous-system structure, neurologic function, injury or a recognizable examination finding.
Symptoms can reflect the anatomical pathway involved and may include altered movement, sensation, cognition, consciousness, coordination or cranial-nerve function.
A focused neurologic examination helps localize the problem before clinicians select brain or spine imaging, electrophysiology, laboratory studies or cerebrospinal-fluid testing.
Therapy is cause-specific and may combine urgent stabilization, medication, surgery, rehabilitation and prevention of secondary neurologic injury.
Functional outcome with brown-sequard syndrome is strongly influenced by the underlying pathology, anatomical extent and timing of diagnosis and treatment.
