Abstract
- Brown-Séquard-plus syndrome is characterized by hemiparesis, contralateral spinothalamic sensory deficits with additional abnormal findings of other organs.

Diffusion-weighted MRI of the cervical spine and lower medulla confirm the diagnosis of anterior unilateral cervical spinal cord infarction. It is very rare that the unilateral long spinal cord infarction at the C1-C4 associated with Brown-Séquard-plus syndrome.
