Brown-Séquard syndrome is defined as an incomplete pattern of injury following a hemisection of the spinal cord resulting in weakness or paralysis, loss of proprioception and vibration sense on the same side of the damage, and loss of pain and temperature sensations on the opposite side (see Image: Brown-Séquard Syndrome). Specific deficits depend on the site and mechanism of injury. As an incomplete spinal cord syndrome, the clinical presentation of Brown-Séquard syndrome may vary, with neurological deficits ranging from mild to severe.
