Traumatic-Brain-Injury-Case-Ameer

Case：Ameer from Saudi Arabia

Nationality：

Saudi Arabia

Age：

14 years old

Diagnosis：

Traumatic Brain Injury

Admission Date：

June, 2012

Background

Ameer, a 14-year-old male from Saudi Arabia, is afflicted with the sequela of brain injury. In April 2010, he unfortunately encountered a car accident. A head CT at that time showed epidural hematoma in the bilateral temporal and frontal areas.

He was admitted to our hospital mainly due to the poor flexibility of his left limbs. The treatment marks an important step in his journey towards potential recovery.

Pre-Treatment Condition（Before Stem Cell Treatment）

1. Cognitive:
- Intact logical thinking & reasoning.
- Adequate question comprehension.
- Impaired short-term memory.
2. Speech:
- Slow speech rate (functional articulation).
3. Motor Function:
- Reduced left upper limb flexibility (limiting daily hand use).
- Independent ambulation with abnormal gait (limping)**; potential endurance concerns.

Treatment Plan

One course of stem cell therapy
Surgical method: Lumbar puncture
Efficacy monitoring plan over 6 to 12 months post-treatment

After the First Course ofTreatment (6Months)

1. Cognitive:
- Enhanced information processing & marked memory improvement**.
2. Speech:
- Normalized articulation rate with fluent communication.
3. Motor Function:
- Restored left upper limb flexibility (enhanced daily function).
- Gait normalization (no residual limping).

Symptom	Improvement
Intact logic & reasoning	Enhanced information processing
Adequate comprehension	Marked memory improvement
Functional but slow articulation	Normalized speech rate
Reduced left limb flexibility	Restored flexibility (improved ADLs)
Independent ambulation with limping	Normal gait (no residual limping)

Progress Summary & Future Outlook

Ameer's current progress is highly encouraging, indicating a bright future ahead. With his cognitive, memory, speech, limb flexibility, and gait improvements, continuous development is expected.

In the future, his cognitive skills may further enhance, enabling him to engage in more complex learning and social interactions. These progress will gradually lead him back to a full-fledged, normal life.
