Background

Ho Tee Heng is a 60 year old male patient from Malaysia. He was admitted into Beijing Tiantan Puhua International Hospital, due to “Disorders of activities and sensation of limbs, accompanied with respiratory disorder for more than six months post a traffic accident”.

Ho Tee Heng suffered a traffic accident on 1st April 2009. He drove and hit a tree with safety belt on. He underwent cervical vertebra fracture and subluxation at the level of C4-5. A bone fragment was inserted into the spinal cord at C4 level. He was in a condition with unclear consciousness and was transferred to a hospital about 2 hours later. Afterwards, he received a posterior fixation operation, breathing machine for ventilation, and rehabilitation therapy.

He was recorded with ankylosis spondylosis for 20 years, lung infection, and periodic urinary tract infection because of long-term lying on the bed after the injury. He didn’t have any problems with his respiratory system before the injury.

Medical condition pre stem cell treatment

Prior to his arrival at our hospital, Ho Tee Heng was able to breathe only with assistance of a respirator. His speech had improved though, because of a tracheotomy. He ate through a Ryles’ tube. His condition was tetraplegic. The myodynamia of all his limbs were at a level of grade zero. He could not feel pain and temperature at all below the level of C2. He had awareness of urination and defecation but without the ability to control either.
