Brown-Squard syndrome is a neurological disorder that results from damage to one side of the spinal cord. It is named after Charles-douard Brown-Squard, a French physician who first described the condition in 1850. Brown-Squard syndrome can cause a variety of symptoms, including weakness or paralysis on one side of the body, loss of sensation on one side of the body, and difficulty with balance and coordination.
There are a number of different ways to remember Brown-Squard syndrome. One way is to use the acronym “BSI,” which stands for “Brown-Squard Injury.” Another way is to use the mnemonic device “WEAK SIDE, COLD SIDE.” This mnemonic device refers to the fact that Brown-Squard syndrome typically causes weakness on one side of the body and loss of sensation on the other side of the body.
