Brown-Sequard syndrome (BSS) is most commonly seen in patients with spinal trauma and extramedullary spinal neoplasm. Pure BSS caused by cervical disc herniation is extremely rare. Operative treatment is generally recommended those patients with BSS to improve neurological function. Here, we report a rare case of spontaneous healing of BSS caused by cervical disc herniation. Two years follow-up showed complete disappearance of symptoms without recurrence. To our knowledge, no similar cases have been reported before. Therefore, for appropriate patients, conservative treatment can be considered for a few months before deciding on surgical treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
