Brown-Sequard Syndrome after an Accidental Stab Injury of Cervical Spine: A Case Report

Brown-Sequard syndrome (BSS) is a rare condition resulting from incomplete spinal cord injury, often caused by traumatic events like stab wounds. This case report describes a woman who experienced typical BSS symptoms after a stab wound to her posterior neck. The patient's condition improved with conservative treatment and rehabilitation, highlighting the potential for favorable outcomes in BSS cases without neural compression.

• 1
  The patient presented with right-side hemiparesis, ipsilateral hypoesthesia, and contralateral sensory loss of pain and temperature, consistent with BSS.
• 2
  MRI confirmed a signal change at the C6-7 cord level and the tract of the stab wound, supporting the diagnosis of BSS.
• 3
  Conservative treatment, including wound closure and rehabilitation, led to significant neurological improvement, allowing the patient to return to normal daily life.
