Brown-Sequard Syndrome

• Pain sensation are affected on the opposite side of the body
• Thermal sensation are affected on the opposite side of the body,
• Proprioceptive sensation is affected on the same side as the lesion.
• Loss of pain and temperature sensation begins one or two segments below the lesion.
• Associated spastic motor paralysis on the side of the lesion

Tactile sensation is not greatly affected – Because the fibers from one side of the body are distributed in tracts (posterior columns, anterior and lateral spinothalamic) on both sides of the cord.
