  • Title: Cervical epidural haematoma causing Brown-Sequard syndrome: a case report.
    Author: Kulkarni AG, Nag K, Shah S.
    Journal: J Orthop Surg (Hong Kong); 2013 Dec; 21(3):372-4. PubMed ID: 24366803.
    Abstract:
    Brown-Sequard syndrome secondary to compression of the spinal cord by an epidural haematoma following minor trauma is rare. A 65-year-old woman presented with neck pain and sudden onset hemiplegia with contralateral anaesthesia. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a haematoma in the epidural space in the C3 to C5 levels. She underwent open-door laminoplasty for evacuation of the haematoma. At the 2-year follow-up, she had regained normal sensations and a neurological grade of 5/5.
