Description: Brown-Séquard syndrome results from a lesion in one (lateral) half of the spinal cord (for example hemisection or lateral injury of the cord). It often occurs in the cervical cord region. It was first described in the 1840s after Dr. Charles Edouard Brown-Sequard (1817-94) sectioned half of the spinal cord.
