The injury described gives rise to the Brown-Sequard syndrome. This syndrome consists of weakness and loss of proprioception and vibration sensation and ipsilateral to the lesion, and loss of pain and temperature on the contralateral side. There is usually little loss of tactile sensation.  (See References)
