Abstract

The Brown-Sequard syndrome is a special type of unilateral spinal cord injury which characteristic symptoms are ipsilateral spastic hemiparesis, contralateral impairment of pain and temperature sensation, ipsilateral impairment of vibration and position sense, and ipsilateral flaccid paralysis with hypesthesia at the level of involved segment.
We present a case of cervical spinal cord injury by C6 and C7 vertebral fractures which was thought as Brown-Sequard syndrome accompanied with cervical roots injury. The temporal course of motor recovery was observed retrospectively and the mechanisms of recovery as well as possible sites of injury were also reviewed.
