NeuroBytes: Medical Student Series: Localizing a Spinal Cord Lesion
Course Description
Localizing a spinal cord lesion involves an understanding of its anatomy and clinical repercussions. Herein, we will review those concepts through a case study of a patient with Brown-Séquard syndrome. Furthermore, we will examine the causes of this syndrome, and how the involvement of certain spinal pathways can explain its unique presentation.
Learning Objectives
As a result of this program the learner will be able to:
- Localize spinal cord pathways to identify underlying pathology
