Acute Brown-Séquard Syndrome Caused by Cervical Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc: First Reported Local Case and Literature Review

摘要

Cervical prolapsed intervertebral disc is a common pathology that may have a wide range of presentations, from incidental finding on imaging to neck pain to different neurological symptoms. Brown-Séquard syndrome is a rare presentation of cervical disc prolapse but it usually carries a good prognosis for recovery. We present an uncommon case of C3/4 cervical prolapsed intervertebral disc causing acute Brown-Séquard syndrome, the first-ever reported in the local literature.
