STUDY DESIGN: This report analyzed the likely locations of lesions that cause a combination of Horner's and Brown-S?quard syndromes. One must know the anatomic structure of spinal cord and the sympathetic nerve chain. OBJECTIVES: A hypertensive patient had Brown-S?quard and Horner's syndromes after neck trauma. The magnetic resonance imaging and surgical findings showed the correlation between the clinical symptoms and the likely lesion. METHODS: The patient underwent right hemilaminectomy from C2 to C6 with total removal of hematoma. CONCLUSION: The spinal epidural hematoma rarely is a surgical emergency. The patient presented with Brown-S?quard and Horner's syndromes. Magnetic resonance imaging made a rapid and correct diagnosis. The patient received an emergent right hemilaminectomy from C2 to C6 with removal of hematoma and subsequently made a complete recovery. |
