What is the prognosis (outlook) of Brown-Séquard syndrome?

The prognosis (outlook) of Brown-Séquard syndrome (BSS) depends on several factors, including the cause of the spinal cord damage and how much it’s damaged.

But, overall, the prognosis of BSS is usually good. People with BSS have a fair chance of recovering some of their function, including walking. Recovery is a slow process, however. It becomes slower throughout three to six months after the onset of the syndrome, and it can take up to two years for ongoing neurological recovery.
