What is Brown-Sequard Syndrome? Brown-Sequard syndrome (BSS) is a rare neurological condition characterized by a lesion in the spinal cord which results in weakness or paralysis (hemiparaplegia) on one side of the body and a loss of sensation (hemianesthesia) on the opposite side. BSS may be caused by a spinal cord tumor, trauma (such as a puncture wound to the neck or back), ischemia (obstruction of a blood vessel), or infectious or inflammatory diseases such as tuberculosis, or multiple sclerosis. Is there any treatment? Generally treatment for individuals with BSS focuses on the underlying cause of the disorder. Early treatment with high-dose steroids may be beneficial in many cases. Other treatment is symptomatic and supportive. What is the prognosis? The prognosis for individuals with BSS varies depending on the cause of the disorder >>> Linda Hefferman <[email protected]> 11/28/2005 11:17:03 PM >>> Hello fellow cs or eis users. I am writing to see if anyone on this list can shed any information on the subject of brown-sequard syndrome and I am also wondering if cs would be of any help. My daughter's friend has been diagnosed with this syndrome recently and up until now has been very healthy. She was having problems walking and was hospitilized for a while. They did an mri and told her she had lesions on her spine and also on her brain. They said they will have to wait to see if she has any further episodes before they and positively identify what is going on with her. I have been doing some research on the internet, but find there are a lot of blank spaces that are left unanswered. The girl who has been recently diagnosed said she is returning to work tomorrow, but she really has to concentrate when it comes to walking. She said her leg actually feels numb. They wanted to start her on steriods, but so far she has said no to that option. She is just 25 and I am hoping that she will have a positive outcome to all of this. I am not exactly sure what a lesion is, sounds to me like some kind of sore or wound, but I do wonder if colloidal silver would be of any help. Since she also has a brain lesion I do not think that cs would be able to get to that part of her body, even if it would help. Maybe this is where DMSO could be of some use??? If there is anyone out there with any answers could you please email me at [email protected] If there is any information out there that would help this girl then I will be happy to pass it on to her. Right now, she is having a struggle just coming to terms with the information she has been given and I do not believe she is ready to start doing her own research at the moment.
