Question
which spinal cord injury results in same - side motor loss and opposite - side pain loss?
posterior cord syndrome
anterior cord syndrome
central cord syndrome
brown - sequard syndrome
view hint for question 14
Each spinal cord syndrome has distinct neurological deficits. Brown-Sequard syndrome is caused by a hemisection of the spinal cord: the ipsilateral (same-side) corticospinal tract is damaged leading to motor loss, while the contralateral (opposite-side) spinothalamic tract (which carries pain/temperature signals) is impaired leading to pain loss. The other syndromes have different deficit patterns: posterior cord syndrome affects proprioception, anterior cord syndrome impacts motor and pain on the same side, and central cord syndrome causes more upper extremity motor loss.
