The effects of damage to only one side of the spinal cord was first described by Charles-Édouard Brown-Séquard in 1850. Hence, this condition is known as Brown-Séquard syndrome. Brown-Séquard syndrome can result from a number of causes including a spinal cord tumor, ischemia, or (most commonly) trauma.
