Patient Information:

• Name: Chua Kah Wei
• Diagnosis: Cerebral Palsy (CP)
• Date of Birth: January 1, 2010
• Gender: Male
• Country: China
• Treatment: Stereotactic brain repair treatment, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and physical therapy

History:

Patient Chua Kah Wei was a 25-month-old boy from China who was admitted to Beijing Puhua International Hospital on December 6, 2010. His CP was caused by anoxic brain damage due to the umbilical cord being twisted around his neck during delivery.

After one month of treatment, Patient Chua Kah Wei was discharged on January 5, 2011.

Medical Condition Prior to Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery (Functional Stereotaxy) for Cerebral Palsy:

Upon admission, Patient Chua Kah Wei's condition was poor. He could not sit steadily and had difficulty sitting up or turning his body over unassisted. His muscle tone was high when irritated, with limited mobility and range of motion, making simple physical activities challenging.

Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery for Cerebral Palsy:

After admission, the following medical protocols were applied:

• Stereotactic treatment to repair injured neural cells
• Improvement of cerebral circulation, nutrition, and metabolism
• Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapy
• Rehabilitation therapy
• Symptomatic and supportive treatment

Medical Condition after Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery for Cerebral Palsy:

Following the treatment combined with rehabilitation therapy, notable improvements were observed in this young patient:

• Muscle tone decreased from 4/5 to 3/5, significantly increasing his mobility
• Basic modes of activity were established before his discharge
