Abstract
-
The Brown-Sequard syndrome is commonly related with a traumatic injury to the spinal cord. Degenerative spine disease is not often reported as the cause of the Brown-Sequard syndrome, and most reports document cervical spondylosis. There are few citation, describing herniated cervical disc as the cause of a Brown-Sequard syndrome. We report a rare case of Brown-Sequard syndrome produced by herniated cervical disc.
