Brown-Séquard syndrome associated with brachial plexus injury in neck trauma.
A case of adult cervical trauma that resulted in a clinical picture of Brown-Séquard syndrome and unilateral brachial plexus injury is presented. Rotational hyperflexion of the cervical spine is thought to have resulted in subluxation of C5-6 with root avulsions, leading to this unusual combination of findings.
