Medical History

Mr. Albert was admitted to Beijing Puhua International Hospital in 2018, four years after sustaining a TBI due to an assault. The incident resulted in ataxia disorder, breathing difficulties, and mobility issues. He underwent tracheotomy, respirator use, decompressive craniectomy, and subsequent cranioplasty three months later. Despite rehabilitation efforts, Albert continued to experience mobility disorders of all four limbs and speech impairment, including walking imbalance, tremors, and inarticulate speech.

Medical Condition Before Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery

Prior to the surgery, Albert's condition was as follows:

• Inability to complete coordinated tests such as finger-to-nose and alternate limb movements due to severe tremor in upper extremities
• Severe tremor present during walking

Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery for TBI

After admission, Albert underwent a comprehensive evaluation. A multidisciplinary treatment approach was implemented over two weeks, including:

• Minimally invasive brain repair procedure
• Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support recovery and improve overall well-being
• Rehabilitation therapy focusing on motor function and balance improvement

Medical Condition After Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery

Three days post-surgery, Albert began displaying noticeable improvements:

• Successfully completed the finger-to-nose test
• Upper body tremor significantly reduced during walking
• Able to sit upright with improved posture compared to his pre-operative state
• Hands exhibited no signs of tremor

Both Albert and his family were thrilled with these advancements. The medical team continues to monitor his progress and anticipates further improvement in his condition.
