Modified Brown-Séquard syndrome following coronary artery bypass graft: case report

M H Gottesman et al. Paraplegia. 1992 Mar.

Abstract

A 75 year old man underwent a triple coronary artery bypass graft performed with intra-aortic balloon pump assistance. Left leg weakness developed on the first postoperative day, progressive worsening occurred over the next 2 1/2 weeks, finally culminating in a modified Brown-Séquard pattern of deficit. No etiology was found. Previous reports of spinal cord injury following coronary artery bypass graft are reviewed and the microcirculation of the spinal cord is discussed.
