The case reported a 21-year-old female patient, admitted and treated in the neurorehabilitation clinic, after traumatic vegetative state and severely deposturizing tetraplegia. She had an unexpected favorable progressive evolution to minimally conscious state, then post-traumatic encephalopathy and functional tetraparesis. Finally both functional and vocational prognosis were favorable, and she achieved independence in activities of daily living. She started her academic education as student, one year after the traumatic accident.Keywords: vegetative state, minimally conscious state, polytrauma, tetraplegia, neurorehabilitatio, outcome,
