About this historical patient account: The information below describes reported observations from one case. It does not establish treatment efficacy, safety, a causal relationship or an expected outcome. Outcomes vary, and reported improvement does not demonstrate cure. Do not change prescribed medicines or delay established care based on this account.

Intervention context: This account does not establish that the cell, growth-factor or other biological interventions described are approved or effective for this diagnosis. Some may be investigational. A qualified specialist should explain the current evidence, regulatory status, alternatives, uncertainties and risks before any treatment decision.

Case Study: Brain Surgery (Functional Stereotaxy) for Stroke

Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery (Functional Stereotaxy) for Stroke

• Name: Yu Tian
• Diagnosis: Post-stroke Sequelae (Quadriplegia)
• Date of Birth: January 1, 1949
• Gender: Male
• Country: China

Medical Condition before Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery (Functional Stereotaxy) for Stroke:

• Admitted to Beijing Puhua International Hospital due to stroke-related sequelae
• Suffered from quadriplegia after a cerebral infarction
• Pre-treatment symptoms:
  • Poor speech clarity, difficulty communicating
  • Muscle weakness in the neck, unable to raise head
  • High muscle tension
  • Muscle strength: Arms (3/5), Legs (3/5)
  • Impaired spatial awareness and orientation
  • Irritability, memory difficulties
  • Swallowing difficulties

Treatment Plan:
A multidisciplinary approach was implemented, including:

1. Stereotactic procedures described in this historical report:
   • Stereotactic brain procedure
   • Neural growth factors injection
2. Medical improvement of neural function and metabolism
3. Combined Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and rehabilitation therapy

Medical Condition after Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery for Stroke:

• Post-treatment improvements:
  • Muscle tension returned to normal or near-normal levels
  • Improved muscle strength: Upper limbs (4/5), Lower limbs (5/5)
  • Better walking ability with crutches, and improved gait patterns:
    • Longer strides
    • Faster and steadier pace
    • Ability to stand on one foot
  • Enhanced speech clarity and communication abilities
  • Improved facial expressions, appearing younger and more animated
  • Increased leg mobility and improved range of motion

Case Study: Brain Surgery (Functional Stereotaxy) for Stroke

Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery (Functional Stereotaxy) for Stroke

Patient Information:

• Name: Kitte Drivenes
• Diagnosis: Post-stroke Sequelae (Right-side Basal Ganglia Cerebral Infarction)
• Date of Birth: November 1, 1958
• Gender: Female
• Country: Norway

History and Initial Presentation:
Kitte is a 63-year-old woman who was admitted to Beijing Puhua International Hospital presenting with left-sided limb movement disorders following a right-side basal ganglia cerebral infarction over two years ago.

Medical Condition before Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery:

• Fatigued easily
• Bilateral pupils equal, reactive to light; left: right = 3:3 mm
• Slow gait with assistance from walking stick
• Left upper limb paralysis and impaired finger movement
• Muscle strength in the left limbs ranged from I-III (0-5 scale)
• Increased muscular tension in the left upper and lower limbs

Treatment Plan:
Upon admission, a multidisciplinary approach was implemented:

1. Stereotactic operation under local anesthesia with radiofrequency nerve adjustment treatment
2. Nerve growth factor implantation
3. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy
4. Rehabilitation therapy

Medical Condition after Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery for Stroke:

• General condition improved, with increased energy levels
• Able to lift left arm and move fingers soon after surgery
• Easier, faster gait; able to walk longer distances without walking stick
• Improved muscle strength and reduced muscular tension in both arms and legs

Post-Discharge:
Kitte recorded a video before discharge to share her positive experience with the minimally invasive brain surgery at Beijing Puhua International Hospital as a personal account, without establishing expected outcomes for others.

Case Study: Brain Surgery (Functional Stereotaxy) for Stroke

Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery (Functional Stereotaxy) for Stroke

Patient Information:

• Name: Humoud
• Diagnosis: Post-stroke Sequelae (Left-sided Hemiplegia)
• Date of Birth: March 1, 1952
• Gender: Male
• Country: United Arab Emirates

History and Initial Presentation:
Humoud is a 64-year-old male patient who was admitted to Beijing Puhua International Hospital due to left-side limb movement disorder lasting for approximately ten years. He had been diagnosed with post-stroke sequelae.

Medical Condition before Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery (Functional Stereotaxy) for Stroke:

• Left heel-knee-tibia test showed instability
• Muscle strength:
  • Right limbs: 4/5
  • Left wrist and extensor of fingers: 3-/5
  • Left finger flexor: 2/5
  • Proximal end of left upper limb: 5-/5
  • Proximal end of left lower limb: 4/5
  • Distal end of left lower limb: 5-/5
• Shuffling gait noted in the left foot during walking
• Clumsy alternate movements of the left hand

Treatment Plan:
A multidisciplinary approach was implemented, including:

1. Stereotactic operation with neural growth factor injection
2. Neural nutrition and cerebral metabolism optimization
3. Symptomatic treatment:
   • Blood glucose and blood pressure monitoring
   • Adjustment of oral hypotensive and hypoglycemic medications
