High-Yield Explanation
Brown-Sequard syndrome is an incomplete spinal cord lesion characterized by a clinical picture reflecting hemisection injury of the spinal cord, often in the cervical cord region. The effects of hemisection of the spinal cord can be described in two-stage: - immediate effects Immediate effects following hemisection of the spinal cord are those of 'spinal shock'. - late effects If the patient survives, typical motor and sensory changes develop after recovery from the spinal shock. These changes constitute the Brown-Sequard syndrome and can be described as ~ changes at the level of section, ~ changes below the level of section, ~ changes above the level of section Ref: guyton and hall textbook of medical physiology 12 edition page number:691,692,693
