abstract="Blunt trauma without associated fracture or ligamentous injury is a rare cause of Brown-Sequard syndrome. We report a case of Brown-Sequard syndrome after a direct blow to the cervical spine that did not cause injury to adjacent bone or ligaments. Characteristic neurologic findings, including a unilateral hemiparesis with associated contralateral sensory findings, were noted at the time of presentation. High-dose steroids were instituted after recognition of the patient's injury, and magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine revealed a unilateral cord contusion with no associated fractures. After 1 month, the patient had recovered much of his function and was able to ambulate unassisted.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
