Encyclopedic style doesn't usually extend to providing nineteen separate examples of the same condition. The goal is to provide a description of the condition, not a description of nineteen individual cases. An encyclopedia article should provide all of the generalizable information, along with a few examples if they are necessary to illustrate the descriptions, but not nineteen examples.

See Wikipedia:Writing better articles for further ideas about how to make this article less like a series of case histories and more like an encyclopedia. WhatamIdoing (talk) 02:17, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree: This kind of writting would be great for a medical student's book, but not for an encyclopedia. Most paragraphs on examples should be simplified to a single sentence of the kind of B-S Syndrome can be caused by MS lesiones in the cervical cord; mimicking a tumor; and the reference.--Garrondo (talk) 08:26, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article should not contain these examples. WP:MOSMED is our guideline for writing about this sort of article (i.e. a medical syndrome). Axl ¤ [Talk] 12:30, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Would agree that the examples do not belong. These are some interesting cases. Well written with great images. Perhaps we could move them to Case studies of Brown-Sequard syndrome. Than rewrite the remaining material as a encyclopedic article.--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:53, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting off is a very useful first step. I have now nominated the subarticle for AFD, because I believe this content should go to WikiBooks or some other resource. JFW | T@lk 19:06, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's been a bit of back-and-forth over the ==See also== section, so I'm asking any and all the editor(s) in favor of it to please follow the link, which is now a redirect back to this very article. If you also think that it would be kind of stupid to tell readers to "see also" the same page that they're reading right now, then please don't restore it. Thanks, 03:55, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

history should follow the introduction and not be left for the end. There needs to be no epidemiology heading if it only states the disease is rare. The rare occurrence can simply be stated in the introduction.

Agreed. I have no objection to these changes. WP:Be bold. -- œ^™ 17:48, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Let's just pick a few, this is an encyclopedia, there's no need to backup a uncontroversial statement with a dozen references. Especially when they're all only use once.

wouldn't decussation at the spinal cord of the ST tract cause contralateral loss of crude touch, not "demonstration" of it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.220.15.105 (talk) 22:00, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Brown-Séquard syndrome → Brown–Séquard syndrome – Please place your rationale for the proposed move here. Tony (talk) 11:11, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:MOSDASH clearly requires the en dash where the double is two people rather than one with a hyphenated surname. I see this title has been pushed back and forth in previous years. I recommend that it be regularised to a dash, like all analogous article titles on en.WP. Tony (talk) 11:11, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Support guideline-adhering move. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 04:46, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose guideline-violating move. The syndrome is named after Charles-Édouard Brown-Séquard, i.e. one person with a double-barrelled name. Favonian (talk) 13:04, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose, per Favonian. --WS (talk) 18:38, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry. I googled and searched otherwise and saw a ref to "Brown" as a co-author. My mistake. Please withdraw this request. Tony (talk) 09:28, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"The loss of the spinothalamic tract leads to pain and temperature sensation being lost from the contralateral side beginning one or two segments below the lesion." We would see only the loss of mechanoreceptors/pressure as only in the Anterior Spinothalamic Tract the second Neuron branches and descends and ascends (descend max. 2). The Lateral (resp. for pain and temp) doesn't descends. --95.105.236.157 (talk) 18:57, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
