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.

[Infantile cerebral palsy. The current status and future prospects of treatment].

The transplantation (at an experimental level) of embryonic and fetal nerve tissue from different parts of the encephalon yields new possibilities for its use in humans in the future. The recent clinical application in the treatment of schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease is just the beginning to the long road toward cerebral reconstruction. The authors believe that this technique can also be used in the treatment of infantile cerebral palsy.
