|September 1, 1986
Summary
The Brown-Séquard syndrome, associated with spinal cord damage, is proposed to be differentiated into "pure" and "Brown-Séquard-plus" types. This distinction is supported by clinical, anatomical, and historical evidence from over 600 cases.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Neurosurgery
- Clinical Neuroscience
Background:
- The term "Brown-Séquard syndrome" has been applied broadly to various spinal cord injuries.
- Existing classifications lack precision regarding the extent and nature of spinal cord damage.
- A need exists for clearer diagnostic criteria in spinal cord lesion syndromes.
