Case Study: Brain Surgery (Functional Stereotaxy) for Stroke

Comprehensive Stroke Treatment

Patient Information

• Name: Malti Prasad
• Date of Birth: January 1, 1958
• Gender: Female
• Country of Residence: New Zealand

Diagnosis: Stroke caused by atherosclerosis of the carotid artery with resulting dystonia and motor function impairment.

Treatment:

• Minimally Invasive Brain Repair (MIBR) using Remebot technology
• Stem Cell Transplantation
• Physical Therapy
• Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Malti's Journey:

In 2008, Malti Prasad suffered a stroke that left her with difficulty walking and speaking. Her right upper limb muscle strength was near 3/5 distally and 0/5 proximally, while the right lower limb was 4/5. Due to these disabilities, Malti fell into depression.

After thorough evaluation of Malti's medical data and symptoms by BPIH's medical team, a comprehensive treatment protocol was devised:

1. Minimally Invasive Brain Repair (MIBR) using Remebot technology:

   • The Remebot system performed a robotic stereotactic surgery to repair the damaged brain areas.
   • Only local anesthesia was required due to the minimal invasiveness of the procedure.
   • Stem cells were injected into specific positions in Malti's basal ganglia and subcortex.

2. Stem Cell Transplantation:

   • Stem cells were selected based on their potential to differentiate into neurons, promoting neurogenesis and angiogenesis.

3. Physical Therapy:

   • Postoperative rehabilitation exercises helped improve Malti's muscle strength and motor function.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM):

   • Tailored TCM treatments aimed to enhance overall well-being and facilitate recovery.

Treatment Results:

• One week after the procedure, noticeable improvements were observed.
• Postoperative CT scans revealed no excessive bleeding.
• Malti's muscle tone in her right limb improved from 3/5 preoperatively to 1-2/5 postoperatively.
• Her walking ability showed significant improvement, and she could walk slowly but steadily.
• Facial expressions and speech function greatly improved.
• Malti expressed gratitude to BPIH's medical team in Chinese: "谢谢你们！" (Thank you all!)

Returning Home:

Malti returned to New Zealand with renewed hope and a smile on her face. We eagerly await updates on her continuous progress.
