Brown Sequard Syndrome (BSS) may occur secondary to different reasons such as trauma, neoplasm, congenital or degenerative lesions. Penetrating injuries also may cause Brown-Sequard syndrome. In this study, we present a fourteen-year-old male with Brown Sequard Syndrome caused by paper scissors stabbing. According to our best knowledge Brown Sequard syndrome caused by the paper scissors penetration has not been previously reported in the literature.
