Cervical epidural abscess presenting with Brown-Sequard syndrome in a patient with type 2 diabetes. (17/30)

An 80-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes was admitted due to right-handed muscle weakness. The patient presented with Brown-Sequard syndrome, with complete paralysis of the right lower limb along with a loss of pain and temperature sensations in the left lower limb. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cervical epidural abscess, and accompanying edema or inflammation of the right side of the spinal cord at the C5 level. She underwent drainage and evacuation of the spinal abscess, followed by intravenous antibiotic administration. These interventions ameliorated the neurological deficits. The present case suggests the importance of epidural abscess as a rare pathogenetic cause of Brown-Sequard syndrome in type 2 diabetes.  (+info)

Lateral medullary infarction presenting as Brown-Sequard syndrome-like manifestation: a case report and literature review. (18/30)

PURPOSE: Lateral medullary infarction is not uncommon in clinical practice of neurology. This report describes a patient who initially presented with Brown-Sequard syndrome-like manifestation but was later diagnosed with acute infarction in the left lower lateral medulla. CASE REPORT: A 65-year-old woman presented with acute onset of unsteadiness, left side hemiparesis, left limb dysmetria, left side partial Horner syndrome, and paresthesia in the right lower limb and trunk with a sensory level at T5 on the right. No bulbar symptoms nor facial paresthesia was noted. Brown- Sequard syndrome was suspected initially, but cervical spine magnetic resonance imaging showed only mild spinal stenosis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed acute infarction in the left lower lateral medulla. The mechanism of this unusual presentation is discussed. CONCLUSION: Brown-Sequard syndrome-like manifestation can be a rare presentation of lower lateral medullary infarction.  (+info)
