Hello Roflguy,

Brown-Sequard syndrome (BSS) is a rare neurological condition characterized by a lesion in 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.

BSS may be caused by a spinal cord tumor, trauma (such as a puncture wound to the neck or back), ischemia (obstruction of a blood vessel), or infectious or inflammatory diseases such as tuberculosis, or multiple sclerosis.

HOPE THIS WILL HELP YOU

GOOD LUCK!

Hello,

Brown Sequard Syndrome : It is characterized by hemisection of the spinal cord which results in weakness or paralysis of the same side (Hemiplegia) of the body and a loss of sensation (hemianesthesia) on the opposite side.

The patient presents with contralateral loss of crude touch sensations, since anterior spinothalamic tract carrying these sensations, crosses the midline and runs on the opposite half of spinal cord.

Hope this helps
