Brown-Sequard syndrome is an uncommon complication of atlantoaxial arthrodesis. A 50-year-old female visited our emergency department after falling from a ladder. Radiologic evaluations revealed chronic C1-2 instability with acute spinal cord injury. The day after atlantoaxial fusion was performed, she developed left-sided motor weakness and the loss of right-sided pain and temperature sensation. Based on physical examination and radiologic findings, we diagnosed her as having Brown-Sequard syndrome. Spine surgeons performing this procedure should therefore consider Brown-Sequard syndrome if a patient displays signs of postoperative hemiplegia.
布朗 - 色夸综合征是寰枢关节融合术一种罕见的并发症。一名50岁女性从梯子上跌落后来到我们的急诊科。影像学评估显示存在慢性C1 - 2不稳定伴急性脊髓损伤。在进行寰枢融合术后第二天,她出现左侧运动无力以及右侧痛觉和温度觉丧失。根据体格检查和影像学检查结果,我们诊断她患有布朗 - 色夸综合征。因此,实施该手术的脊柱外科医生如果患者出现术后偏瘫迹象,应考虑布朗 - 色夸综合征。
