Abstract

In this case, we discuss an 82-year-old male patient with a combination of motor weakness and loss of proprioception on one side of the body, together with reduced pain and temperature sensation on the opposite side, which is characteristic of Brown-Séquard syndrome (BSS). This case highlights the differential diagnoses of those presenting with BSS as well as the diagnostic workup in the modern day for BSS. This case gives the reader the opportunity to go through tailored investigations and treatment for the various BBS differentials.
