ABSTRACT

Brown-Séquard syndrome is a spinal cord injury resulting from unilateral injury, which causes deep sensory loss and motor weakness below the level of injury on the same side, while causing a neurological condition characterized by a loss of pain and temperature sensation on the opposite side to the injury. The most common reason is spinal trauma. In this case study, we aim to present a case of Brown-Séquard Syndrome as a result of disruption of the circulation of the spinal cord after kyphoscoliosis surgical correction.
