Brown-Sequard syndrome is caused by damage to one side of the spinal cord, resulting in different symptoms on each side of the body. It leads to ipsilateral weakness and loss of proprioception due to damage of the corticospinal tract and dorsal columns. There is also contralateral loss of pain and temperature sensation due to involvement of the lateral spinothalamic tract. Treatment focuses on prevention of complications and includes antibiotics to prevent infections, though steroids are controversial for traumatic injuries.
