title: Delayed results of transplantation of fetal neurogenic tissue in patients with consequences of spinal cord trauma.
abstract: We analyzed delayed effects of transplantation of nervous and hemopoietic fetal cells to patients with consequences of spinal trauma. A decrease in neurological deficit associated with pronounced improvement of functional independence was observed in 48.9% cases. The best results were observed in patients receiving cell transplantation within the first 2 years after trauma and in younger individuals. The pattern of morphological changes in the spinal cord at site of injury, severity of damage, and the method of transplantation had no appreciable effects on its delayed results.
