Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brown-Sequard syndrome is a partial transection of the spinal cord that affects one side of the body. It reduces position sense and motor control on the side with the injury due to damage to corticospinal tracts, and reduces pain and temperature sense on the other side due to damage to spinothalamic tracts. Conus medullaris syndrome affects the lumbar and sacral segments of the spinal cord, resulting in varying degrees of motor and sensory dysfunction in the lower limbs, bowel, and bladder. Central cord syndrome affects the center of the spinal cord, resulting in greater motor weakness in the upper limbs than the lower limbs. Anterior cord syndrome damages the anterior portion of the spinal cord, resulting in loss of motor function and pain and temperature sensation, but preserving position sense.
