Brown-Séquard syndrome caused by multiple knife trauma gunshot with late debridement: Two cases report and literature review.

introduction and importanceBrown-Séquard syndrome (BSS) is a rare syndrome consequence of interruption in the spinal cord following traumatic or non-traumatic injuries. Although, based on the previous literature, BSS has a good prognosis, some reports do not complete recovery following BSS. CASES PRESENTATION: In this current survey, we present two aggressive BSSs with complete recovery. One case involved a man aged 23 years without any underlying disease with multiple traumas with a knife who was transferred to the level 1 trauma center knife. Case two was a man 36 years with a gun shutting in C6 level. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: C5 total laminectomy and C4 and C6 partial laminectomy were done due to the sharp knife. Three months later, the patient achieved full recovery. After C6 total laminectomy in case 2, the patient was discharged without defect.

conclusionIncomplete spinal cord injuries are challenging to diagnose and treat. Due to esophageal rupture and late debridement, full recovery was not expected. Despite neurological impairments, full recovery was achieved over three months in two cases. Also, many factors can aggravate the initial trauma in gunshot spine injury patients.
