  • Title: Progressive Brown-Séquard syndrome: A rare manifestation of cervical disc herniation.
    Author: Porto GB, Tan LA, Kasliwal MK, Traynelis VC.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2016 Jul; 29():196-8. PubMed ID: 26921137.
    Abstract:
    Brown-Séquard syndrome (BSS) is a rare syndrome and is often described in association with spinal cord injury resulting from hemisection of the spinal cord. BSS due to cervical disc herniation is rare with often delayed diagnosis. The importance of early recognition with imaging cannot be over-emphasized, as the prognosis is better when compared to traumatic and vascular etiologies of BSS. We report a rare case of BBS in an 86-year-old man secondary to cervical disc herniation who had dramatic improvement after surgical intervention. This case highlights the unusual presentation from a very common spinal pathology along with a review of the pertinent literature.
