Study Design: Case report.
Objectives: To report a case of Brown-Sequard syndrome after blunt cervical trauma.
Summary of Literature Review: Brown-Sequard syndrome is a rare disease characterized by hemisection of the spinal cord, and it shows the best prognosis of the various types of incomplete spinal cord injuries.
Materials and Methods: A patient with Brown-Sequard syndrome that occurred after a traffic accident was followed up for 2 years and 6 months.
Results: We observed normal recovery of motor strength, but sensory impairment and deep tendon hyperreflexia remained.
Conclusions: Brown-Sequard syndrome is known to have a good prognosis, but in this case, the neurological abnormality did not fully recover; therefore, we report this rare case and present a review of the literature.
