Intrauterine spinal cord infarcts (IUSCI) with resulting tetraplegia are extremely rare, and there is minimal evidence describing outcomes in this population. This case describes the functional progress of a 3-year-old girl born with IUSCI who participated in activity-based therapies (ABT). Children have developing nervous systems and are particularly suited to benefit from ABT. Over the course of treatment, the child in this case has demonstrated improvements in developmental milestone achievement including fine and gross motor skills and social/cognitive development. Intense, interdisciplinary ABT should be considered for the treatment of children with IUSCI.
