What is Brown-Séquard syndrome? Brown-Séquard syndrome is a condition associated with hemisection or damage to one half of the spinal cord. The hemisection damages neural tracts in the spinal cord that carry information to and from the brain. This results in a loss of sensations like pain, temperature, touch, as well as paralysis or loss of muscle function in some parts of the body.

📝 Summary of Key Points: 📌 Brown-Séquard syndrome is a condition that occurs when there is damage to one half of the spinal cord, resulting in the loss of sensations and paralysis in certain parts of the body. 🧐 The spinal cord is divided into two halves, with white matter on the outside and gray matter on the inside. There are different tracks that carry sensory and motor information to and from the brain. 🚀 Sensory information goes through three neurons to reach the brain, while motor signals travel down the corticospinal tract to control muscle movement. 📊 Brown-Séquard syndrome is usually caused by trauma or spinal cord tumors, and it can result in various sensory and motor problems depending on the damaged tracts. 💡 Treatment for Brown-Séquard syndrome involves supportive care and rehabilitation, with corticosteroids used to manage inflammation. 📣 Concluding Remarks: Brown-Séquard syndrome is a condition that affects the spinal cord, leading to sensory loss and paralysis on one side of the body. Understanding the different tracks and pathways involved in sensory and motor function is crucial in diagnosing and managing this syndrome. With supportive care and rehabilitation, individuals with Brown-Séquard syndrome can work towards improving their quality of life. Made with Talkbud

How is it a umn lesion when the hemisection is at c1? If the nucleus gracile and cuenatus are located in the medulla ? Shouldn't it be flaccid as well?

@Adela1212 11 күн бұрын

The dorsal columns carry sensory info to the nn. gracilus and cuneatus, hence they will cause a loss of sensation and not a flaccid or spastic paralysis (this is only for motor neurons). Hope this helps

why is ipsilateral pain and temperature sensation intact ?

@estherthomas5615 3 ай бұрын

Because of Lissauers tracts (which carry sensation above and below the the spinal level). The signals/ neurons are able to go to the spinal level above the lesion and allows the pain and temperature to decussate at the level above the injury and continue its journey to the brain.

Year of the Zebra !!! What's that 🥲??

@ck-zk2vs 7 ай бұрын

It's a play on the phrase in medicine 'When you hear footsteps, think horses not zebras.' A zebra here is a rare condition with similar signs and symptoms of a common condition. Took me a minute to figure out what they meant too :)
