Patient Information

• Name: Cesar Sebastiao
• Diagnosis: Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
• Date of Birth: January 1, 1978
• Gender: Male
• Country of Origin: Brazil

Treatment Course
Cesar sustained a severe SCI following an accidental three-story fall. Initial CT scan revealed a significant fracture at vertebra T-11. After anatomical fixation surgery, Cesar sought further improvement and traveled to Beijing Puhua International Hospital for spinal cord reconstruction.

Medical History

• Pre-Operative: Cesar was paraplegic with complete loss of lower extremity motor function, confined to a wheelchair. He experienced considerable inconvenience in daily life activities and faced professional challenges as a dentist.
• Post-Operative (21-day treatment course): Spinal Cord Reconstruction Surgery combined with Neural Growth Factor Therapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Rehabilitation Therapy.

Outcome
Cesar's condition demonstrated marked improvement following the treatment regimen. Through intensive rehabilitation exercises, he regained the ability to stand and walk forward with assistance from a therapist and orthotics—a feat previously unattainable. Upon discharge, Cesar expressed optimism about returning to a relatively normal personal and professional life as a dentist in Brazil.

Conclusion
This case reports changes after surgery and supportive care. It cannot establish the contribution of each intervention, treatment efficacy or expected outcomes for other patients.
