Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brown-Séquard syndrome is a spinal cord injury characterized by ipsilateral loss of motor function and contralateral loss of pain sensation and temperature. This occurs because the pathways for motor function and pain/temperature sensation cross over at different levels in the spinal cord. Upper extremity motor and sensory loss, as well as bilateral loss of pain sensation below the level of injury, are not typically seen in Brown-Séquard syndrome.
