Sudden onset Brown-Sequard-like symptoms due to fibrotic scar tissue formation around spinal cord stimulator electrode with associated spinal cord compression

This case highlights how a SCS resulted in the late onset (i.e. 17 years later) of a Brown-Séquard like syndrome attributed to placement of a SCS.
