Article Synopsis
- Brown-Séquard Syndrome (BSS) is a rare incomplete spinal cord injury causing weakness on one side of the body and sensory loss on the opposite side.
- A case study of a 38-year-old woman showed her developing weakness and numbness due to a herniated disc at the C3-C4 level, leading to significant spinal canal narrowing.
- The surgery to replace the damaged disc resulted in outpatient therapy recommendations, emphasizing the importance of considering non-traumatic causes of BSS, particularly as cases involving herniated discs are often misdiagnosed.

- Researchers explored the use of nerve transfers as a surgical option to improve mobility in patients with non-traumatic paralysis conditions like arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) and transverse myelitis (TM).
- The study involved 23 patients aged 4 to 64 months, demonstrating that early nerve transfers can successfully reactivate muscle function in the upper extremities.
- The findings suggest that nerve transfers are a viable treatment method that can enhance daily functioning in children with paralysis conditions, emphasizing the need for awareness among healthcare providers.
