Q

Hemisection or Brown sequard sun. Sx ?

A
  • dorsal = ips loss of fine touch/ vibration/proprioception
  • Anterior horn = IPs LMS ( hypo reflex, flaccid paralysis)
  • Lat Corticospinal = Cont. UMS below lesion
  • spinalthalamic = contralat. Loss of 1-2 levels below loss crude touch and pressure & @ level loss of P&T
