Which of the following best describes Brown-Sequard Syndrome?

Brown-Sequard Syndrome is characterized by a unilateral hemisection or injury to one side of the spinal cord. This condition typically results from trauma, such as a penetrating injury or a tumor. The resulting hemisection leads to a distinct pattern of neurological deficits due to the arrangement of the spinal tracts.

In this syndrome, the affected side experiences weakness or paralysis (motor loss) and a loss of proprioception and vibration sense, while the opposite side exhibits a loss of pain and temperature sensation due to the decussation (crossing) of pain and temperature fibers in the spinal cord. This unique presentation arises because different sensory and motor pathways cross at different levels in the central nervous system.

The other options do not accurately describe Brown-Sequard Syndrome, as they do not reflect the specific nature of the unilateral hemisection of the spinal cord that is characteristic of this syndrome, which produces the specific patterns of sensory and motor deficits described above.
