• Date of Birth: January 27, 2007
• Gender: Male
• Country: Oman
• Treatment: Stereotactic brain procedure, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and physical therapy

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

Pre-operative assessment:

• Verbal communication: Limited to producing sounds like 'hum, ah.'
• Visual tracking: Blink reflex present when hearing sounds, but no obvious visual tracking.
• Emotional responses: Occasional smiling upon hearing relatives' voices.
• Muscle tension: High in all extremities.
• Spontaneous movement: Modest lift movements observed in all four limbs.
• Pain response: Avoidance response to painful stimuli.

Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery for Cerebral Palsy:

Treatment protocols:

1. Stereotactic procedure described in this report; neural-cell repair is not established by this case
2. Medical treatment to enhance cerebral circulation, nutrition, and metabolism
3. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapy
4. Rehabilitation training

Medical Condition after Stereotactic Brain Procedure Treatment for Cerebral Palsy:

Post-operative assessment:

• General condition: Improved after Stereotactic Therapy
• Visual tracking: Enhanced ability to track movements towards sound or moving objects
• Sensitivity to external stimuli: Increased, with better emotional responses and reactions to other stimuli
• Muscle tension: Decreased, with more normal tone in hands and extremities
• Spontaneous movement: Increased in limb movements; also able to hold head upright longer while sitting up
