Nationality:Pakistan
Age: 59 years old
Diagnosis: Stroke
Admission Date: May 2011
On December 22nd, 2009, the patient experienced a significant episode. After a fit of rage, he suddenly lapsed into unconsciousness and suffered from incontinence of both urine and bowel movements. Emergency medical attention was sought, and subsequent MRI examination of his head revealed local hemorrhage in the right basal ganglia area.
For over two years since then, the patient has been grappling with two major debilitating symptoms. Firstly, there has been a progressive and concerning decrease in his memory, which has had a profound impact on his daily life, affecting his ability to recall recent events, recognize familiar faces, and perform routine cognitive tasks. Secondly, he has been afflicted with a movement disorder of his limbs, making simple activities such as walking, grasping objects, or even sitting up straight a challenging ordeal.
Due to these persistent and severely disruptive symptoms, the patient was eventually admitted to our hospital. Here, he has been receiving a comprehensive treatment regimen that includes physical rehabilitation therapy aimed at improving his limb movement and nerve nutrition medication to support the recovery and function of his nervous system.
Symptom | Improvement |
Independent sitting/standing with marked instability; required walking assistance. | Improved limb strength for daily tasks (grasping, stairs); stable dynamic/static balance. |
Impaired recent memory; slowed reactions. | Enhanced mental clarity, responsiveness, and communication. |
Nighttime urinary/fecal incontinence. | [No postoperative data provided] |
The patient's current positive changes are highly promising signs for the future. With the significant restoration of limb muscle strength, enhanced thought and reaction abilities, and improved balance, there's great potential for further progress.
