Abstract
A 27 year old male patient with chronic traumatic paraplegia received an omental transplant to the spinal cord. During surgery we found 40 percent of the spinal cord hypotrophied, with vascular alterations and abundant scar tissue. Some neurological improvement already started a few days postoperatively. After 36 months of postoperative follow-up he presents with right crural monoparesis (grade 1-4), deep sensation and with sphincter control.Entities:
