Brown- Séquard Syndrome After Radiofrequency Therapy of the Left C3 Medial Branch

摘要


A 59-year-old woman presented with a 5-year history of neck pain and intractable headache radiating from the occipital region to the supra-orbital region. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a C5-6 herniated intervertebral disc and bulging disc at C4-5. Left C3 medial branch radiofrequency neurotomy was performed. Although the procedure was uneventful, the patient developed a cervical spinal cord haemorrhage that caused Brown-Séquard syndrome. The haemorrhage was presumably caused by iatrogenic injury of a radicular artery during the procedure.
