| Brown-Sequard's syndrome | <neurology, syndrome> A type of spinal cord lesion that is characterised by hemiparaplegia and hyperesthesia, but with loss of motor function on the same side as the lesion and hemianaesthesia on the opposite side. (27 Sep 1997) |

It is accompanied by bouts of abdominal pain, hepatosplenomegaly, pancreatitis, and eruptive xanthomas; autosomal recessive inheritance. See: familial lipoprotein lipase inhibitor. Synonym: Burger-Grutz syndrome, familial fat-induced hyperlipaemia, familial hyperchylomicronaemia, familial hypertriglyceridemia, idiopathic hyperlipaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
