BROWN-SEQUARD SYNDROME-ASSOCIATED WITH HORNERS-SYNDROME IN CERVICAL EPIDURAL HEMATOMA

Study Design. This report analyzed the likely locations of lesions tha t cause a combination of Horner's and Brown-Sequard syndromes. One mus t know the anatomic structure of spinal cord and the sympathetic nerve chain. Objectives. A hypertensive patient had Brown-Sequard and Horne r's syndromes after neck trauma. The magnetic resonance imaging and su rgical findings showed the correlation between the clinical symptoms a nd the likely lesion. Methods. The patient underwent right hemilaminec tomy from C2 to C6 with total removal of hematoma. Conclusion. The spi nal epidural hematoma rarely is a surgical emergency. The patient pres ented with Brown-Sequard and Horner's syndromes. Magnetic resonance im aging made a rapid and correct diagnosis. The patient received an emer gent right hemilaminectomy from C2 to C6 with removal of hematoma and subsequently made a complete recovery.
