MeSH Heading: Brown-Sequard Syndrome
Tree Number(s): C10.597.622.669.300; C23.888.592.636.637.300
Unique ID: D018437
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018437
Annotation: do not confuse with flaccid paralysis of the bladder, also called Brown Séquard paralysis; in titles & translations use diacrit: Brown-Sequard
Scope Note: A syndrome associated with injury to the lateral half of the spinal cord. The condition is characterized by the following clinical features (which are found below the level of the lesion): contralateral hemisensory anesthesia to pain and temperature, ipsilateral loss of propioception, and ipsilateral motor paralysis. Tactile sensation is generally spared. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p162).
