How is Brown-Séquard syndrome diagnosed?

If your healthcare provider suspects you may have Brown-Séquard syndrome (BSS), they’ll:

• Perform a thorough physical exam.
• Perform a neurological exam consisting of detailed motor and sensory evaluation.
• Ask detailed questions about your medical, neurological and trauma history.

Your provider will then order certain tests, such as an MRI scan, to confirm the diagnosis or rule out other possible causes of your symptoms.
