Hi Janice,
There are no fast and hard set rules about how much of the body is
affected by any lesion. In my case (NMO) my lesion encompassed almost the
whole of my Thoracic cord. I presented with Brown Sequard paralysis (Often
referred to as Hemicord.) and I have been hit not just once, but three
seperate times now with substantial paralysis and long hospitalisations each
time. Yet, today I walk. Why do I walk, yet someone else with a similar
lesion size and presentation cannot---no one really knows. It's a crap shoot.
