When i foresaw it would work i forgot about completing the query to get what was actually wanted... So here it is for mysql:

SELECT @parent_left = 33; //Change these to fit your needs SELECT @parent_right = 102;

SELECT @next_brother:=@parent_left;

SELECT @next_brother:=

   CASE WHEN left >= @next_brother

     THEN right+1 
     ELSE @next_brother 

   END AS next_brother, name, right
   FROM categories
   WHERE left >= @parent_left AND right <= @parent_right    HAVING next_brother = right+1
   ORDER BY left;
