The number of spinal cord injury patients continues to be a challenge for neuromotor recovery. Consequences are sensitivity and motility disorders which leads to different invalidity degrees. At the same time, food excesses/of nutritional toxic products or other aggresive factors (urinary tract infections, ingrown nails, autonomic dysreflexia and so on) can disturb central nervous system functions up to secundar generalized sceizures triggering (which can severely affect the lifestyle of patients). For all these reasons, is very important to study carefully the evolution of spinal cord injury patients and their lifestyle precursor traumatic events. The authors will present the complex and difficult evolution of a case with incomplete posttraumatic tetraplegia (treated neurosurgical conservately).
