Brain Parenchyma to Repair Spinal Cord Deficits by Abbas Alnaji* in Techniques in Neurosurgery & Neurology_ Techniques in Neurosurgery & Neurology
Abstract
Decades
of spinal cord repair efforts
had been crowned by stem cells SC role as a very recent promising scientific
prospect. Many and a lot of work all over the world used SC in very different
ways and techniques to overcome the damage in spinal cord whether morbid or
traumatic unfortunately until the date without yield. They used SC from
placental/umbilical cord, bone marrow, perhaps blood components and recently
the adipose tissue. I intended to use adipose tissue derived SC to treat a 70
years old man with a tetraplegia of 30 years due to a road traffic accident
cervical 6 vertebral fracture. At the time of case discussion with the patient
and his family my plan was to MRI
imaging, to see the basic structural damage and to reveal any improvements
after SC use, the MRI showed huge neural canal narrowing at the C6 due to
fractured vertebral hypertrophy over these 30 years with adjacent inferior
syrinx the case necessitated a laminectomy decompression with syrinx opening.
The other factor in family discussion was the tissue biopsy for detection of
any intracellular bacteria by molecular study as screen for unknown which was
developed in a molecular biology lab. As I am increasing my knowledge in
adipose tissue manipulation for being as SC, I realized that better if we can
use brain tissue instead. Why brain tissue in a time it is highly
differentiated and from where to take, do we want to build a place and spoil
the other!! In some of my writings I mentioned the huge capability of brain to
repair itself whatever the age and the damage is/ are just if we free its cells
from the intracellular bacteria which I find in the biopsies I take in
different diseases one of them is the cerebral palsy due to any cause
