Brown-Séquard´s syndrome (spinal hemiplegia) and calcified cervical disc herniation

  Brown-Séquard´s syndrome (BSS) is an unusual clinical entity caused by damage to one half of the spinal cord mimicking a classic hemiplegia. This syndrome is characterized by ipslateral loss of motor function (paralysis), proprioception, and vibratory sensation, combined with contralateral loss of pain and temperature sensation. Spinal cord injuries and tumoral diseases were the most frequent etiologies associated with BSS. Spontaneous cervical disc herniation has rarely been considered.
